because I look at it thanks to my spiritual and absolute omnipotence. This is how the chain of causes and effects governed by physical laws is explained; thus the material world is created, maintained and destroyed under My direction in an endless cycle.”
By the strength of his teachings and marvelous deeds, God shows that He is indeed the Lord. Despite everything, men without intelligence will not want to recognize this truth. They are generally interested in the infinitely large and infinitely small aspects of the Lord because they themselves are incapable of becoming one or the other. They ignore that the glories of the Lord do not culminate in its infinite and infinitesimal aspects, but that the most wonderful manifestation of his power appears when the unlimited Lord manifests in our eyes as one of us. They remain incapable of understanding that although He appears in the guise of a human being by his own power, Lord Krishna, God, remains the Sovereign Master of all that exists.
Logos 120
Material cosmic creation is designed for eternally incarnated and conditioned souls for two reasons: They can first satisfy their tendency to reign supreme over the cosmic manifestation, and they are also given the opportunity to return to God.
After the dissolution of the cosmic manifestation, most of the conditioned souls melt into the existence of the Supreme Person, plunged into a mystical sleep, and they will be manifested again in the next creation. Those who will have obeyed the Lord and who will thus have qualified to return to God, will find their original spiritual body after having left their material envelopes, of dense and ethereal matter. The forgetting of the relationship that unites spiritual beings with God is at the origin of the bodies of matter which these latter must take on.
The material forms, coarse (dense matter) and ethereal, are due only to the ignorance of the conditioned embodied soul, and as soon as the being abandons himself to the service of love of the Lord, he obtains on the -field to be released from this enslavement. Devotional service corresponds to a purely spiritual attraction for God, which is the source of all pleasure. Everyone aspires to some form of pleasure, but ignores its original and supreme source. God, the Supreme Person, is the infinite fountain of all pleasure. Whoever is fortunate enough to obtain this information through sacred texts such as the science of God, becomes forever liberated and regains his natural and original position in the kingdom of God.
