strong enough to protect himself from the infection of matter, and l attraction it exerts can be diverted from spiritual energy.
This is a valid warning for all those who wish to progress in the spiritual life. Unless you are sufficiently protected by the Lord, you can fall from your spiritual position. Therefore, we must constantly pray to the Lord to protect us and grant us his blessing so that we can continue our duty.
The whole soul subject to God, who constantly seeks the protection of the Lord while fulfilling the duties entrusted to him, has no fear of being a victim of material defilement.
Logos 141
It is written: “O Lord, material suffering has no real existence for the soul. However, as long as the embodied and conditioned soul believes that the body is intended for pleasure and that it identifies with it, it cannot leave the labyrinth formed by these sufferings, being influenced by your external energy”.
The great problem of the spiritual being trapped in material existence lies in its independent attitude towards life. It depends at all times on the law of the Supreme Lord, both in the conditioned state and in the liberated state, but by the influence of external energy, it believes itself independent of the supremacy of the Sovereign Lord.
The natural duty of the spiritual being distinct from God consists in uniting his desires with the supreme will, but as long as he refuses to do so, he can only remain chained to matter and must renounce all the plans dictated to him by his mind. The distinct being must therefore unite his will with that of the Supreme Being. This will help him get out of the labyrinth of material existence.
Logos 142
It says: “I adore the original Supreme Lord, infallible, that no one is equal. Although it unfolds in countless forms, it remains the cause of all causes. The oldest of all beings, He nevertheless retains an eternal youth; never He is affected by aging. He, the Sovereign Lord, remains inaccessible by wisdom scholarship. Those who wish to know him will have to approach his devotees.”
This is why Jesus said: “no one can approach God except through me”.
