Originally, our identity is to be a parcel of God or Krishna, eternal, filled with knowledge and bliss, free from defilement and the yoke of material energy. But for rejecting the service of the Lord, we had to fall immediately into the prison of this material world and accept a material body. That's why we had to put on our prisoner suit, our flesh and bone suit.

The spiritual consciousness

Teaching on the renunciation of the attachment to materialism, and on the illusory nature of this world and material possessions.

It happens that human beings prematurely lose a child, and are very overwhelmed by the pain. In order to know the true parent-child relationships in this material world, God teaches us this knowledge through spiritual awareness.

What connection does this corpse on which we are lamenting with us, and what connection do we have with him?

Certainly we can say that at this time we are both related as father and son, but do we believe that this kinship existed before?

Is there really at this moment?

Will it continue in the future?

Our universe is temporary; nevertheless, following our previous karma, we come here below to receive various bodies; this has the effect of creating ephemeral bonds born of social relations, friendship, love, nationality, etc., which all end with death. These temporary reports did not exist in the past; they will not exist in the future. This is why, in the present moment, the so-called ties and relations of kinship are only illusions. Just as small grains of sand are sometimes united, sometimes separated by the force of the waves, living beings who have accepted to put on material bodies are sometimes united and sometimes separated by the force of time. The misunderstanding of the conditioned soul comes from its bodily conception of life. The body is material, but the soul, which is within it and directs it, is spiritual. This is what is meant by "spiritual understanding". Unfortunately, one who is immersed in ignorance under the influence of material illusion considers the body as his true self. Like small grains of sand, bodies come into contact with each other, then they are separated by time, and, in their delusion, people lament for questions of union and separation. There is no question of happiness for the one who does not know that.
