He also clarified that it is given to the conditioned soul to understand how it should act and use its precious existence. Instead of wasting its energy in manipulating matter, which by the supreme will is doomed to irreparable destruction, the conditioned soul should use its energy to serve the Lord with love, in order to be able to access this other world which does not know neither birth nor death, neither creation nor destruction, but offers an eternal existence, all of knowledge and bliss. Thus creation is temporarily manifested and then destroyed for the sole purpose of educating the conditioned being who remains attached to the ephemeral. It is therefore also intended to enable him to reach spiritual realization.

A prisoner will never be happy, even if he is locked up in a comfortable cell or in an insanitary cell. Rather than trying to move from the “dungeon” to the “comfortable
