Our next body depends on the influence of the modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion, ignorance, which will predominate in us at the moment of death. Those who die under the influence of ignorance will get even smaller bodies of animals or species. Those who die in the grip of passion will get a human form on a planet similar to the earth. And those who die under the aegis of virtue will be promoted to the higher, heavenly planetary systems, and will acquire the body of a celestial being (to be more evolved than man). But all these bodies are material, and therefore temporary. Only the one who has the chance to die thinking of God can obtain an eternal body like that of Krishna. He will join the Supreme Lord in his eternal home.

The Lord says, "Besides the soul, there is another occupant in the body who is the ultimate owner. He sanctions and supervises all the activities of the body but remains on a spiritual and absolute level. He who understands that the Supreme Soul is, in all bodies, the constant companion of the soul, and that both are imperishable, that one sees the truth."

People seek to satisfy their desires, thus believing to know happiness. Alas, they do not know that they will be happy only by obeying the Lord's instructions perfectly. Krishna comes in person to pray to him to give up his material desires and to act according to his instructions. Verily, it is only from Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and at his only touch, that we will experience true absolute, uninterrupted, and eternal happiness.

In truth, the embodied spiritual soul is deep within the heart of a body of matter. The Supreme Soul and the individual soul live in the same body. The Supreme Soul is called a friend because God, the Sovereign Person, testifies so much benevolence to the individual soul (that each one of us is) that He accompanies it when it transmutes from one body to another. . In addition, the Lord, through the material energy, his agent, creates a new body according to his desires and his karma. The heart plays a mechanical role in the body. As God explains by this word:

"The Lord stands in the heart of all beings, and directs their wanderings to all, who are each as on a machine made of material energy."

The driver of the body whom God calls "machine" is the individual soul, who is also his master and owner, but the supreme owner is God, the Sovereign Person. A person's body is created through the material energy of God, through specific
