As long as the soul remains in contact with matter, it must act according to its material needs. We can, however, even in the heart of matter, awaken our spiritual consciousness and find a pure existence; it suffices for that to practice the consciousness of God. The more we progress in this way, the more we free ourselves from the claws of matter. The Lord is impartial; everything depends on the efforts that one manifests, in the accomplishment of one's duty, in order to control one's senses and to overcome the ascendancy of covetousness and anger. To dominate one's passions allows to develop the consciousness of God and to reach the spiritual level.
The supreme perfection can be attained by the practice of the service of love and devotion, which alone makes it possible to approach God and can give peace to man. The service of love and devotion offered to God is the summit of perfection.
The Supreme Lord Krishna says:
“Only through devotional service, and only thus, can one know Me as I am. And the being who, by such devotion, becomes fully conscious of My Person, can then enter My absolute kingdom.”
“I am the seed, that is to say the fundamental principle, of this world of mobile and immobile entities. I am the substance of matter, the material cause and the efficient spiritual cause.”
“The whole universe, by a simple spark of My Person, I penetrate and support it”.
Krishna descends into this world, to remind him of fallen souls, souls incarnated and conditioned by matter, and to bring them back to their eternal home where they will live forever with Him. To save these souls, Krishna sometimes comes Himself, in its original form or in various other forms. Sometimes he sends his private servants, his sons, his companions, or his representatives.
The Lord never leaves Goloka, his kingdom and yet, from where we are, we can approach him, because, precisely for this purpose, He chooses to manifest in this world his real form. To avoid losing ourselves in conjecture over its form, He shows himself to us as He is. Unfortunately, when He comes among us, like a human being and entertained in our presence, fools denigrate him, they take him for an ordinary man, when in reality it is thanks to his the power that He reveals to us his true form and shows us his diversions, images of those to whom He gives Himself in His kingdom.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person is the absolute truth, the Almighty, the Absolute, the limitless, the all that is. Nothing exists except Him. He is the very principle of all causes, the first cause and the very form of eternal existence, all of knowledge and bliss. He is the source of all that is. Of all those who can create, He is the Supreme Creator.
