The entire cosmic manifestation is only a combination of lower and higher energies, and the source of all these energies is God, the Supreme Person.
Krishna is the only Sovereign Lord. All others are his servants. All living beings are engaged according to the Lord's desire in different activities thus manifesting various aptitudes and inclinations. This knowledge is the original teaching of the relationship between the individual individual and God, the Supreme Person. The highest level of realization to which the living being can reach lies in this devotional attitude. Now, no one can engage in devotional life, in Krishna consciousness, unless he is completely free from material defilements. The essence of all Vedic writings is the offering of our service of spiritual love to the Lord. In the service of devotion, sentiment serves as an intermediary or as a fundamental principle on which is established the exchange of a relationship between the Lord and the individual being. We must not waste our time seeking the pleasure of the senses in this world, but rather we must strive to regain our original position in the service of love and devotion we offer to God, the Supreme Person.
God is like a fire from which sparks spring up, individual beings distinct from Krishna, and when these sparks deviate from the fire, they lose their natural brilliance. This is how living beings come into this material world as sparks that deviate from fire. The distinct being, wishing to imitate Krishna, strives to reign supreme over material nature. He forgets his original position, and his illuminating power, his spiritual identity and is almost extinct. However, if the living being conditioned by matter adopts Krishna consciousness, then he will be restored to his natural position. The path of devotional service allows all conditioned souls to revive their original consciousness, their Krishna consciousness, and to escape the sufferings of material existence.
It is only when the distinct being abandons himself to God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, that his liberation from material existence is assured.
“Surrender to God, the Supreme Person, is the only cause of liberation”.
A liberated being, whose consciousness is established in Krishna, does not really live in this world even though he is still there. The one who is absorbed in Krishna consciousness is a liberated being. He does not maintain any real connection with the material world. He who reaches the spiritual and absolute level frees himself from the repeated deaths and rebirths. The mere fact of knowing the absolute nature of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, frees chains from the cycle of the dead and rebirths. When he leaves his material body, the released being then returns to his original home, the Kingdom of God.
Let us abandon ourselves to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and serve Him with love and devotion and at the death of our body, we will find our spiritual body through which we will enter the kingdom of Krishna, all of knowledge, bliss and eternity. This is the true resurrection.
