consciousness is to give us a body of the same nature as that of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person Himself.

Knowing his intimate relationship with the Lord is the supreme goal of human life. Krishna consciousness is the art of spiritualizing material activity, of increasing the level of spiritual realization of the one who performs it, of knowing the universality of God and the relationship that unites us to Him.

Our next body depends on the influence of the modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion, ignorance, which will predominate in us at the time of death. Those who die influenced by ignorance will get even lower bodies of animals or species. Those who die in the grip of passion will get human form on an earth-like planet. And those who die under the aegis of virtue will be promoted to the higher, heavenly planetary systems and acquire the body of a celestial being (to be more evolved than man). But all these bodies are material, and therefore temporary. Only the one who has the chance to die thinking of God can obtain an eternal body like that of Krishna. He will join the Supreme Lord in his eternal home.

The Lord said: “Besides the soul, there is another occupant in the body who is the supreme owner. It sanctions and supervises all the activities of the body but remains on a spiritual and absolute level. Whoever understands that the Supreme Soul is, in all bodies, the constant companion of the individual soul (us), and that both are imperishable, that one sees the truth.”

Logos 14

Whoever “kills” the soul will go to the so-called infidel planets, where ignorance and darkness reign. The purpose of existence is spiritual realization and the restoration of our forgotten relationship with God.

“To kill” the soul is to reject God, to continue to ignore that we are souls or spiritual entities, not to seek to achieve spiritual realization, and to be interested only in the material body. Man is distinguished from animals by heavier responsibilities. “virtuous souls” are called those who become aware of them and assume them, and “unbelievers”, those who neglect them or even ignore them. Every human being falls into one or the other category.

The intelligent man must always remember that the human form is only obtained after numerous reincarnations of the soul, over several million years.
