the highest perfection of existence. We will thus live eternally on the soul level, with a perfect knowledge of the service of absolute love offered to the Lord.

In truth, the feeling of the human body does not affect the embodied spiritual soul, because the latter is of a transcendental nature. Birth, sickness, old age and death are the hallmarks of the human body and oppose the very nature of the spiritual soul. The human body is nothing more than a simple garment subject to the laws of the material nature from which it originated, of universal time which transforms it and subjects it to wear. This is why we must first seek the interest of the soul and turn to God, understanding that abnormal attachment to the body is an obstacle to spiritual development.

Logos 35

The Supreme Lord, Krishna, is the safe and absolute refuge of all beings, wherever they are in the universe. He alone protects from all fear.

Wherever it is, on the upper, lower or Edenic planets, the embodied spiritual entity must take refuge with the Lord to be perfectly protected from all fear, from all suffering and also in order to provide for the essential needs of his existence. This absolute dependence on the Lord constitutes pure service of love and devotion. No one should have the slightest doubt about this, nor should we seek the help of an angel, a celestial being or a powerful man, since all depend on Him alone. Except for the Lord Himself, all depend on his mercy.

That the Lord creates a single galaxy is a wonderful, inconceivable act. Such galaxies exist in infinite number and all together constitute what is called material creation. But this in turn represents only a fraction of the entire creation. Indeed, the material cosmos represents only a part, that is the “quarter” of the totality of the energies of the Lord. The eternal spiritual world constitutes the other three “quarters” of the single reality.

In truth, the Lord creates and then reabsorbs his material creation only, for the other part of creation, the largest, the spiritual world, remains eternally. The Lord lives in this eternal kingdom, and his Names, Attributes, Entertainment, Entourage and Personality, all eternal, are all manifestations of his various energies and plenary emanations. The Lord is limitless, and his actions are unfathomable.
