This is why we must love Him, obey Him, renew the bond of love that unites us with Him, link our desires and interests to His, surrender to Him, and take pleasure in serving Him with love and devotion, constantly striving to make Him happy.

Putting the Lord into our minds, being imbued with God consciousness, reasoning and acting as a spiritual entity, placing ourselves under the authority of Krishna, the Supreme Personality in His Personal, Primordial, Original, Infinite, and Absolute form, and loving one another—this is what will bring peace and harmony on earth.

Why did the Supreme Eternal One immerse the spiritual soul in the material universe?

Who are we really? What is our true spiritual identity?

What is our true origin?

Truly, at the beginning of all things, there existed only God, the Supreme Eternal One, and He alone, in His personal, primordial, original, infinite, and absolute form.

This is why God says: There is truly nothing that exists besides Me; this is what you must clearly understand.

God, the Supreme Personality, is unborn and without beginning. This is because He possesses within His divine spiritual essence all the source principles, which give Him absolute power. There is no difference between his totally spiritual body, his Soul, and his mind, for they are One. His body, although composed of two parts, the body itself from which emerge spiritual rays that compose a radiance, and this dazzling radiance, are One.

God's pure spiritual body has a human form, which He also gave to man.

It is written: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)

God needs nothing, for with all His own internal powers, He is self-sufficient. But desiring to increase His personal happiness, He wanted to surround Himself with beings who would bring Him this joy. Therefore, He gave the rays that compose the radiance of His body an existence distinct from Himself. From that moment on, while connected to God and distinct from Him, these spiritual rays, by virtue of composing the radiant body of God, are in fact also unborn, beginningless, and eternal. These spiritual rays or sparks are also called spirit souls, spiritual entities, and spiritual beings. Each of us is a spiritual spark, composing the radiant body of Godhead.

We are all minute fragments, tiny particles, integral parts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.
