done in a suitable time or place, or to people who are worthy of it, or who practices it in a disrespectful and contemptuous manner, it is said to be a matter of Ignorance”.

Logos 78

The law of the strongest, by which every man in this world must fight to ensure his subsistence, results from the lack of harmony between the souls embodied and conditioned by the matter, each eager to dominate the material energies.

It is this mentality which is at the origin of their conditioned state. And so that the imitative tendencies of these false lords could be freely exercised, the illusory energy of God, called maya or Satan, sowed dissension among the conditioned beings by creating for each living species strong and weak. In short, the feeling of dominating material nature, as well as the creation of strong and weak beings, naturally led to disparity, hence the need to struggle to survive.

In the spiritual world, however, no dissension, no struggle for existence, because there everyone lives eternally and no disparity either. Everyone is attached to the service of the Supreme Lord, free from any desire to imitate the Lord by becoming the beneficiary of everything. Creator of all that is, including living beings, the Lord is the true master and beneficiary of all things. On the other hand in the material universe, the distinct being, under the spell of maya, of illusion, or Satan, loses the sense of its eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord, and becomes subject to the conditioning of the law of the strongest and the struggle for existence.

Logos 79

The Lord said: “When they reached Me, devout holy beings, these great souls, these noble souls, never again return to this transitory world where suffering reigns (the material universe). It is only by devotional service, and only in this way, that one can know me as I am.”

The pure soul which, for having engaged its senses in the service of devotion, reaches the kingdom of God and benefits from it the company of the Lord and of the liberated souls who live there, never again will find attraction for the limited assets of the material world. The devotional service offered to the Lord truly fills the pure soul with two major graces, peace and fullness. She enjoys the company of the Perfect Whole, God, and knows perfect peace and satisfaction.
