God possess. But let's be clear, when it comes to reincarnation, we must prepare for our next life now.

Bounded minds, such as impersonalists who claim that God has no form, place greater importance on present existence despite its fleeting nature, and so we see irresponsible leaders emphasizing the body and what attached to it. This design attaches not only to the body, but also to loved ones, wife, children, friends, homeland, and so many other things that die out when present existence ends. When death occurs, the whole context of this life sinks into oblivion. Sleep offers itself as a very apt example in this regard. Indeed, when we sleep, we lose all notion of the body we have and what is attached to it, even if it is only a sleep that lasts only a few hours. Likewise, death comes down to a few months' sleep, the time required to shape a new body cage, offered according to our wishes by the laws of nature through a particular mother. It is therefore simply a question of changing the nature of our desires during this existence, in this very body, and this requires training during our human life. This training can be started at any stage of life, even moments before death, but the normal procedure is to be trained in this way from very early childhood. The institution that provides such training is called the natural organization of society, created by God Himself. This organization aims at the material but also spiritual well-being of all human beings, and it is the best way to make human life perfect. It is therefore recommended that man sever the ties that hold him back to his family, with social or political implications, at the age of fifty, if not sooner, and to prepare for his future life by adopting the order of renunciation.

The materialists who occupy the post of so-called leaders in society remain stubbornly riveted to family life without even making the slightest effort to break these ties which keep them chained to this world. Victims of the laws of nature, they will have to put on according to their actions a new material body of which they ignore the nature and the form, and the place where they will reincarnate. At the end of their existence, these foolish leaders may have won the respect of the masses, but this glory will be of no help to them before the natural laws which keep all beings, feet and fists linked under their sway. It is therefore preferable to give up voluntarily family, social and other ties, to focus instead on the service of love and devotion offered to the Lord.

Man must be offered higher aspirations, otherwise he can never free himself from these unhealthy desires. Desire is inherent in the embodied spiritual being. Since he has an eternal nature, it is natural for him to experience desires, these have an eternal character. But if it turns out to be impossible to put an end to desires, the fact
