The Pure Spiritual Science

No one can enjoy excellence, power, to any degree, unless it is given by the Lord. When God descends on earth with his eternal companions, all souls forever liberated, He not only manifests his own divine power, but He also shows that which He attributes to his devotees so that they may carry out their respective mission of Avatars . Rather, every sane man should feel obligated to the Lord for having blessed him with such favors, and will make it his duty to use them for the sole service of God. All the excellences that God bestows on us, He can take them away from us at any time, and the best use we can make of them is to hire them in His sole service. By this word, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, proves that He directs and controls well the life of all living beings, celestial beings, human beings, animals and plants.

The Supreme Lord said, “I stand in the heart of all beings, and direct their wanderings to all, each one as on a machine made up of material energy (the body)”.

Everyone is free to desire what they want, but it is the Supreme Lord who fulfills all desires. In other words, each being has the independence to think or desire what they want, as they want, but the satisfaction of their desires depends on the supreme will of God. The proverb “Man proposes and God disposes”illustrates this law perfectly well. In truth, only a pure being can know, by the mercy of God, that the personal companionship of the Lord is the highest perfection of existence, and only Krishna, God, can fulfill our desire. The companionship of the Lord is truly precious.

The Lord said, “All of them follow My way in one way or another, and according to whether they surrender to Me, in proportion I reward them.”

“I stand in the heart of every being, and from Me come memory, knowledge and forgetfulness.”

No one can act independently of the will of the Supreme Lord. Nothing happens that has not been consented to by the Lord. The Lord’s will is done in all circumstances. We identify God, the Supreme Person, with sovereign Will and, as such, He governs all things. As a result, it is said that not a single blade of grass moves without the intervention of the Supreme Will. Generally, those who perform acts of godliness gain access to the higher planetary systems. Devotees of the Lord reach the Vaikunthalokas, the spiritual planets. It is the Supreme Will that has the ultimate judgment, no one can dispute this fact. Knowing this, a pure devotee of the Lord submits in all circumstances to his supreme will, recognizing him as an absolute beneficial character. In truth, when a holy being finds himself in a difficult situation, he sees it as a blessing from the Supreme Lord and takes responsibility for his past faults. Placed in such a situation, he intensifies the devotional service which he offers
