ethereal body also called desire body, serves as a backdrop for the development of a certain body of dense matter, which will resemble that of the mother or that of the father. If at the time of sexual union, the secretions of the mother are more abundant than those of the father, the child will receive a female body; on the contrary, if the father's secretions are more abundant than those of the mother, the child will receive a male body. This is how the subtle laws of nature work, in accordance with the desires of the incarnate.

All the great sages have engaged in the service of the Supreme and Absolute Lord, located beyond the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion, ignorance, to obtain the greatest benefit, to become themselves free from material conditions. Anyone who follows in their footsteps qualifies to obtain in turn liberation from the world of matter. The ultimate goal of the practices of religion, or spirituality, is not to obtain any material benefit, any more than to acquire the simple knowledge which makes it possible to discern the spiritual from the material. It consists of freeing oneself from material slavery and finding an existence of pure freedom in the spiritual world, where God reigns in Absolute Master. This is why the Lord Himself enunciates the principles and laws of religion, of which only great souls and great masters, learned in the science of God and in the spiritual
