Perfect spiritual questions and answers
Page 174 of 233

The degradation of all those living in the material cosmos, on any planet, is due to their insubordination and their forgetfulness of their relationship with God. We are all, in truth, the eternal servants of Krishna. Our duty is therefore to serve Him with love and devotion. Such is the perfection of existence.

It is the desire to dominate material nature that plunges the spiritual being into it.

We know that evil is the cause of reincarnation, but what about good?

It is the effects produced by our thoughts, words, and actions that are the cause of reincarnation.

The purpose of existence is to know Krishna, God, to put an end to the cycle of repeated reincarnations, in order to return definitively to Him, in His infinite, absolute, and eternal kingdom.

If Jesus spread a teaching based on benevolence, it was essentially to prevent his disciples and apostles from having thoughts, words, and actions rooted in evil, because they would have caused a reincarnation filled with much suffering. This is why he said: “Love one another.”

In truth, we must absolutely understand that all our thoughts, words, and actions produce positive and/or negative effects, which will, not only at the end of our current existence, but also in our next life, lead to good and/or bad consequences, from which we will either rejoice or suffer. It is fundamental to understand that in the material universe, good and evil, kindness and wickedness, joy and hatred, are placed on the same plane and are a projection of the mind.

Lord Krishna says: It is the thoughts and memories of the being at the moment he leaves his body that determine his future condition.

If we do good with a virtuous attitude, our next life will be pleasant, we will enjoy easy access to material wealth, we will be born, for example, into a wealthy family, or into a family whose father is a servant of Krishna. This should be seen as a mercy from Krishna, helping this beautiful soul, having a wise scholar as her father, to access the absolute truth, and be sure of being able to return to God, in his marvelous kingdom.

As you can see, doing good, being virtuous and benevolent, being filled with love for one's neighbor, does not put an end to existence, but also causes reincarnation.

Likewise, if we do evil, however we do it, we will suffer exactly the same thing in our next life. What we do will be done to us. Three ways of being inevitably lead to reincarnation: lust, materialism exacerbated by sensual pleasures, and the rejection of God as practiced by atheist unbelievers.
