and goes beyond both spiritual self-awareness and liberation. Because he is inundated with this absolute love, the holy being knows the fullness of no longer doing than Un with Krishna, in that the Lord has become everything to him. Once this intimate relationship is established between the Lord and his devotee, he experiences immortality. God, the Supreme Person, never leaves the vision of the holy being; but neither does the latter take the risk of identifying with Him, which would be a real spiritual suicide. Loved by this pure love, Krishna never hides himself from his devotee, nor does the latter cease to see him. Krishna consciousness is the highest bliss a spiritualist can experience; this awareness that he has of the presence of Krishna in every being, in the form of the Supreme Soul, frees him from all faults.

The being who is aware of Krishna is the perfect realized soul. Because he has felt them himself, he understands everyone's joys and sorrows. He knows that pain arises from forgetting the bond which unites being to Krishna, and happiness, from knowing the Lord; he knows that the Lord is the sole master of the fruit of the acts of man, the sole possessor of countries and planets. He knows that the being conditioned by the three gunas; virtue, passion, ignorance, must, for having forgotten the bond which unites him with Krishna, must undergo material sufferings from three sources. The holy being, because he holds the greatest happiness, strives to share Krishna consciousness with all, to understand how important it is to become Krishna conscious. Thus ensuring the happiness of each, the accomplished spiritualist shows himself the most sincere friend, the greatest benefactor of men and the dearest servant of the Lord. The holy being is the most perfect of realized souls, because he does not seek perfection for himself alone, but also for all beings. He never jealous of others. These traits of a pure devotee of the Lord make him more perfect than the solitary meditator, only concerned with his own elevation.

Lord Krishna says:

Because I am God, the Supreme Person, I know everything about the past, present and future. I also know all beings; but I, no one knows Me. All beings are born into illusion, tossed about by the dualities of desire and aversion. But men free from these dualities, fruits of illusion, men who, in their past lives as in this life, were virtuous, men in whom sin has ended, these serve Me with determination. Through devotional service, they take refuge in Me, those intelligent men who strive to free themselves from old age and death. In truth, they are at the spiritual level: they have full knowledge of acts, spiritual or material. Who knows Me as the Supreme Lord, very Principle of material manifestation, Source of celestial beings and Master of all sacrifices, can, with a fixed mind, even at the moment of dying, grasp Me and know Me again.
