Secular science and philosophy are also among the material creations. Understanding how maya works and how to escape the powerful waves of the river of ignorance is the first duty of man.

How can one attain the highest perfection of existence?

One who engages his actions and senses in devotional service to the Lord discovers perfect serenity, for he has pleased the Supreme Soul residing within his heart. Thus, the holy being rises above all duality, such as cold and heat, honor and dishonor, true and false, good and evil. Free from dualities, he experiences completely spiritual bliss and no longer suffers from the worries and anxieties inherent in material existence.

The devotee of the Lord who is always absorbed in Krishna consciousness is free from all anxiety related to self-preservation or self-protection. Thus, he ultimately attains the highest perfection. While still in this material world, he lives in perfect peace and bliss, free from all worries and anxieties. Then, when he leaves the material shell, his body, he returns to his original abode, with Krishna.

The devotee of God who desires to elevate himself through the sublime path of loving and devoted service to the Lord, the most important aspects of which are listening to and chanting the glories of Krishna, is soon freed from the dualities of material existence. Through this simple austerity of the saint, the Supreme Soul, seated within his heart, is fulfilled and guides him from within to his original abode, located in the kingdom of God.

The Lord confirms this with these words: My sovereign abode is a spiritual and absolute kingdom from which there is no return to this material world. Whoever attains supreme perfection, engaged in personal devotional service to Me in this eternal abode, attains the highest perfection of human life and need not return to this world where suffering reigns.

How can one regain one's purely spiritual body?

Whoever leaves their body by fixing their thoughts and gaze on the Supreme Lord, within or without, regains their original natural spirit soul form and their purely spiritual body, and thus experiences the highest perfection of existence.

Lord Krishna said to this effect: Whoever, upon passing away, at the very moment of leaving their body, remembers only me, immediately reaches my abode; have no doubt about it, for it is the thoughts and memories of the being at the moment of leaving the body that determine their future condition. Thus, in me, Krishna, in my personal form, always absorbs your thoughts without fail. Dedicating your actions to me, turning your mind and intelligence towards me, you will undoubtedly come to me.
