charitable gifts, even if they are all brought together, can confer the immunity which the service of devotion assures against material suffering. , or even just a fraction of that immunity.

The service of love and devotion offered to the Supreme Eternal frees all who devote themselves to it and remains the highest degree of beneficence, because it unites the being who develops it with the Lord.

Logos 145

When the senses find satisfaction in the Supreme Soul, the universal witness and merge in him, the Sovereign Lord, then all suffering vanishes.

As the whole material existence is centered on the satisfaction of the senses, the latter represent the vehicles of material action. This is why they must be detached from all material activity. Holy beings do not seek to prevent the material senses from acting, but rather to use their spiritual senses in the service of transcendence, of the Sovereign Lord. In either case, it is necessary to cultivate knowledge, so as to put an end to the activities of the senses on the material plane, and, if possible, to use them in the service of the Lord. By nature, the senses are spiritual, but their activities become contaminated when they are contaminated by matter.

Let all of our senses explore spiritual variety, and only then will our spiritual senses be fulfilled and forever freed from all material activity. The Lord, as the Supreme Soul living in the heart of every being and as the Sovereign Person inhabiting the spiritual world, far beyond material creation, is witness to all our actions. They must therefore be so overcharged with spiritual energy that the Lord will deign to cast a favorable glance on us and make us participate in his sublime service; only then will our senses be fully satisfied, and never again disturbed by the charms of matter.

It is written: “Even apart from material pleasures, the embodied soul can still feel some desire for them. But let her taste a higher joy, and she will lose this desire, to remain in the spiritual consciousness.”

Logos 146

The soul is pure consciousness and it never separates from this consciousness, whether under the influence of time, in dreams or in any other circumstance, or for any other cause. How, then, can it fall into ignorance?
