invisible to the human eye because it is the size of ten thousandths of the tip of a hair.

The Lord says, "The soul in the body is self-luminous and is separated from the gross body of visible dense matter and the subtle, ethereal, invisible body. This remains the fixed base of the modification of the bodily existence, just as the ethereal sky is the immutable bottom of the material transformation. This is why the soul is endless and without material comparison.

As spiritual sparks from the rays emanating from the transcendental body of Lord Krishna, we are eternally connected to Him and participate in His nature.

In truth, the soul is a spiritual spark much brighter, radiant and powerful than the sun, moon or electricity. Man wastes his life if he did not realize that his true identity is spiritual. It was to save him from such a "civilization" that Lord Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared.

The spiritual world embodies the absolute perfection and the material universe which has a limited duration, because temporary, is only a reflection of it. All perfection that can exist in this material world has its source in the spiritual world.

I am the Form of transcendental vibrations like omkara and Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, and I am the Absolute Truth, Supreme. These two manifestations of My Person, namely the transcendental sound and the eternal Form of the murti, (the representation of Krishna, God, in the temple) all of spiritual bliss, are My eternal Forms; they are not material."

We are spiritual souls, sparks from the radiance of the spiritual body of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, tiny fragments of His Divine Persons. As spiritual sparks from the rays emanating from the transcendental body of the Lord, we are eternally connected to him and participate in his Divine nature. Material energy is such a
