The Pure Spiritual Science

knowing it, the Lord sees to it that he is led into his absolute kingdom as soon as he has left his body. After having abandoned his carnal envelope, he will not have to be reborn in the womb of another mother. The ordinary being is indeed introduced after death into the womb of another mother in order to put on a new body, and this, according to her karma, her past acts. But the holy being immediately joins the spiritual world to live there in the company of the Lord. This is the special mercy of the Lord.

Because He is all-powerful, the Lord is free to do as he pleases. He can forgive any fault and make a person instantly access his eternal kingdom. This is the inconceivable power of God, the Supreme Person, who is always favorable towards his pure devotees.

Logos 168

It is written: “The human being who listens to God gradually escapes the desire to dominate matter, to identify with his body, and becomes free from all material affection. Undaunted, equal towards all and freed from duality, he can also see himself. His thoughts, turned inward, are then perfectly peaceful like a calm sea”.

When our spirit is fully absorbed in the consciousness of God and we dedicate ourselves fully to the practice of devotional service offered to the Lord, we become like an ocean whose waves are soothed. Likewise, the laws of nature continue to act, but being firmly established in God through the practice of devotional service is never disturbed because it is introspective. His gaze is not directed towards the material nature, but rather towards the spiritual nature, that of his own being. The sober mind, it is simply absorbed in the service of the Lord, and thus it realizes its true self, devoid of any erroneous identification with matter and freed from all affection for the goods of this world. Such a sage is never in conflict with others, because he sees all beings, including himself, from a spiritual point of view, that is to say that he sees from the right perspective.

Only the service of devotion makes it possible to know the spiritual and absolute nature of the Supreme Lord and, after having perfectly perceived his absolute position, to enter his kingdom. As for the path to the kingdom of God, it is called the path to return to God, in our original home, that which achieves the ultimate goal of existence.
