society experiences some commotion, it must also be seen as the supreme will of the Lord. Not a blade of grass moves outside the will of the Lord.
Whenever there is a transgression of the order established by the Lord, conflicts and wars between men and nations arise. The surest way to achieve peace is the desire to satisfy the Lord. No one should do anything against their will. The value of an action is judged by the circumspection which one applies to it, therefore one must learn to distinguish acts pleasing to the Lord from those which cause his displeasure. The criteria for action therefore lie in the satisfaction of the Lord. No place for whim, the Lord's only pleasure must dictate our conduct. All action must be performed in communion with the Supreme Lord. This is the art of acting perfectly.
Every incarnated spiritual being undergoes, at every moment of its existence, the influence of the laws of material nature, just as the citizens of a state obeys the laws which govern it. The obligations to which the laws of the nation constrain us are immediately perceptible to us, while those of material nature, much more subtle, escape our direct perception. As the Lord teaches, every action accomplished in our lifetime brings about a consequence by which we are bound. Only those who act for the satisfaction of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, are free from the chains of karma.
The Lord said, “Action is to be offered as a sacrifice to the Supreme Being, lest it chase its author in the material world. Also, fulfill your duty in order to please Him, and you will forever be freed from the chains of matter”.
Our actions are judged by the higher authorities deciding in the name of the Lord, who grant us according to these acts a particular body. So penetrating are the laws of material nature that all parts of our body are influenced by the stars. Each body, also called “field of action”, that receives the spiritual being conditioned by the matter falls to him for a determined time of incarceration, under very precise astral conditions. The destiny of a man is therefore traced from the moment of his birth, according to the constellations which then predominate, and a learned astrologer can draw up at this very moment the horoscope in which the destiny of the newborn is registered. This is a great science, the scope of which we unfortunately miss today; but abuse in no way reduces the value of a fair app.
Great characters, especially the Supreme Lord, appear in this world while there are predominantly favorable star configurations in the sky, the happy influence of which relates to the appearance at such a time. The most auspicious of all appears in heaven when the Lord descends into the material universe. It only occurs for this
