The spiritual vision.

A description of the eternal spiritual soul and the vision revealed to us by the Supreme Lord Krishna.

The Supreme Lord says: “When the intelligent man ceases to see in terms of multiple identities, due to multiple bodies, he then reaches the spiritual vision. Wherever he looks, he sees only the spiritual soul”.

When we can see that the different bodies of matter are only the fruit of the various desires of spiritual souls incarnated and conditioned by material nature and illusory energy, and that they do not really belong to the souls themselves, then we have clear vision.

On the material plane we see celestial beings, human beings, terrestrial and aquatic animals and plants, all in the different multiple bodies that characterize them, but this material vision is not the right vision. Such distinctions are due only to the material consciousness of life.

The spiritual soul that each of us really is, such is our true identity, in contact with material nature, takes on different types of material bodies, but after their destruction, at the moment of death or end of life of the material body, the soul comes out of the latter and remains One, for it is eternal.

When the incarnated spiritual being can see in this way, he attains spiritual vision. He becomes free from human denominations, “animal”, “great”, “low”, “mine”, etc., and his consciousness gains in beauty. He can then develop Krishna consciousness or God consciousness, in accordance with his real spiritual identity.

The Supreme Lord says: “Those who have the vision of eternity can see that the soul is spiritual, eternal, and beyond the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature: virtue, passion and ignorance. Although it is in the body of matter, the soul never acts or is bound.”

“Because the material body is born, the spiritual being that inhabits it seems to be born too, but it is in fact eternal. It transcends matter and remains immortal, unborn, though situated in the body. He remains by nature full of bliss. It therefore cannot be destroyed. He never involves himself in material activities. However, the acts engendered by his contact with the bodies of matter that he takes on do not really bind him.”
