share with God. When we reach this level of understanding, we reach the perfection of knowledge. We begin to understand that we are servants and servants of Krishna, and a bond of eternal love unites us to Him.
This relationship of love is not based on retribution; it goes without saying that it is not without reward, a reward far superior to all that we can gain here in the service of the best of the masters. There is no limit to the benefits that Krishna gives us. If we offer everything to the Lord, everything comes back to us a hundredfold, not to say millions of times. But we must not act for this purpose, even if the Lord is always eager to reward without limit the service offered by his devotee.
Whoever perceives that to serve God with love and devotion is his true duty to have perfect knowledge. It must then be known that he has reached the perfection of union with God, and that he is in perfect communion with the Divine Being, Krishna.
In truth, the intimate union with Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is also to accept his sublime pure word and saving teachings. The union is to be in agreement with God on all points.
The promised land.
The kingdom of God is the true promised land, the only one.
In truth, the promised land to which God has referred is His absolute kingdom, and nowhere else. We are not of the material universe, but of the spiritual world, because it is from there that we all come. We are from the marginal energy of God, the tiny fragments of his Person and our true original home is in the eternal kingdom of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, composed of countless spiritual planets of incomparable beauty.
God has been asking us for millennia to seek his beneficent, saving, happiness-giving presence, to listen to his word, to respect and to apply his directives, so that we return to the true promised land where our true original home is, in his kingdom all of knowledge, happiness and eternity.
Real life is in the absolute kingdom of God, and true happiness is with Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in his company and with his only contact that we will have him.
