The conscious being of God knows that a new life begins after death. If, before death, one obtains the grace of becoming conscious of God, one at once reaches the level of the absolute, of the knowledge of the Lord and of complete knowledge. He who establishes himself there, even at the moment of death, comes out of confusion and the kingdom of God opens up to him.

Those who truly know God and the relationship through which they are united with the Supreme Lord reject materialism and hate the material universe. They are only attracted to God and seek only His company.

Under the influence of the three attributes of material nature, the soul lost by the false ego believes itself to be the author of its acts when in reality they are fulfilled by nature.

Two people, one conscious of God and the other not, may seem to act on the same level, but the difference is without measure. The materialist remains persuaded, under the influence of the false ego, that he is the cause of all that he accomplishes. Ignoring that the mechanism of the body is a product of material nature, which acts under the guidance of the Supreme Lord, it also ignores that, in the last place, it is under the dominion of God.

What is called "matter" always participates in the same substance (jyoti), but this time, covered with the veil of illusion (maya). The consciousness of Krsna can instantly tear the veil. Then the offering, the consummation, the offering, the officiant, and the fruit of the sacrifice are united, spiritual, absolute. The Absolute, when wrapped in the veil of Maya, takes on the name of "matter," but it regains its spiritual quality as soon as it is once again placed at the service of the Absolute Truth, God. Krsna consciousness is no other than the means of converting our present consciousness, ensnared in
