To stop this process, it is enough to surrender to God, to do his divine will, and to serve him with love and devotion. Those who do so live in peace, in the protection of God, and know an ineffable happiness.
Our past actions overwhelm us today, and our present acts prepare us for future suffering. So here is a succession of faults and sufferings, plunging life after life the incarnated soul conditioned by matter in pain. She suffers in this life the consequences of the acts committed in her previous life, and prepares, by her present acts, new sufferings in the future.

No being, whether on Earth or among celestial beings on the higher planetary systems, is free from the influence of the three gunas from Material Nature. The soul acquires a particular body according to its status as to the three modes of influence of material nature, virtue, passion and ignorance.
If her appetite is insatiable and she eats indiscriminately, the soul will put on the body of a pig. If she wants to kill and feed on flesh and blood, she will take the body of a tiger. But she wants to eat food offered to God and she will get the body of a
