The Pure Spiritual Science

It is in the kingdom of God that the pure soul receives its spiritual body. The holy beings, the wise men admitted into the kingdom of God, each obtain a body of eternity, knowledge and happiness.

The Lord teaches: "After leaving his body, the holy servant (or the holy servant) no longer receives material bodies, but returns to the kingdom of God, where he receives a spiritual body similar to that of the eternal companions of the Lord whose he followed the example.

When the purified saint is ready, what is commonly called death occurs, but which is only a sudden change of body. For the pure sage, this change is like lightning, which is simultaneously accompanied by bright light. By the supreme will, he develops a spiritual body just as he leaves the material body. It should be noted, however, that even before death, the pure sage is free from all material attachment, which, because of his permanent contact with the Lord, possesses an entirely spiritualized body. The impersonalists (those who believe only in the impersonal spiritual aspect of God, that is, without form), however, because they reject all contact with the Lord, do not obtain from them spiritual body proper to spiritual action, but remain mere spiritual sparks, melted into the dazzling radiance that emanates from the Supreme Lord.

The pure, fearless soul traverses each layer of the material cosmos to finally reach the absolute atmosphere where everything is part of one and the same spiritual identity, the spiritual world. From there, she reaches one of the spiritual planets, where she assumes a form in every respect identical to that of the Lord, and where she engages in her service of absolute love. Such is the highest devotional perfection, beyond which the pure soul has nothing to desire or attain.

The Lord represents the finished form of eternity, knowledge and bliss. Spiritual planets are also forms of eternity, knowledge, and bliss, and the holy beings admitted into the kingdom of God each obtain a body of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. Thus, these various spiritual elements are in no way distinguishable. The Abode, the Name, the Fame, the Entourage, etc. of the Lord all share the same spiritual and absolute nature.

In truth, the purpose of existence is to reach God and return to his eternal kingdom. This is the overall plan of the Supreme Eternal.

Living beings haunted by the desire to enjoy material existence, and having therefore accepted as master another blind man equally attached to the objects of the senses,
