Logos 172

In truth, each being is predestined, in its present body, to a certain sum of joys and sorrows. This is called the law of karma.

No one, by their own efforts, can acquire more money, without which all men would be practically all as wealthy as each other. In reality, everyone wins and acquires according to their karma, which is predestined. According to the science of God, we are sometimes faced with painful or dangerous situations, without having done anything for it; and likewise, we can experience prosperity without having specifically sought it. We are therefore advised to let these things come according to our destiny. Rather, we should spend our precious time cultivating the conscience of God.

In other words, we have to be satisfied with our natural condition. If, by the ways of fate, we are reduced to leading a very modest life compared to others, we should not be disturbed by it. We should only use the precious time allotted to us to advance in the consciousness of God. This progress does not depend in any way on prosperity or material poverty; it is independent of the conditions imposed by material existence. A very poor man can practice the conscience of God as fruitfully as a wealthy man. We should therefore be very satisfied with the position assigned to us by the Lord.

Logos 173

A devotee (A devotee) of the Sovereign Lord seriously practicing the service of love and devotion dedicated to the Divine Person shows himself equal towards all living beings, celestial beings, human beings, animals and plants.

There are different living species, but the servant of God (the servant of God) does not consider the carnal envelope; he sees the soul that lives inside the body. Each of these souls being a tiny part of God, he sees no distinction between them. This is the vision of a holy being who has knowledge. The saint, or the sage, makes no difference between a learned preacher, a dog, an elephant or a cow, because he knows that the body is only an external envelope and that the soul is actually a spiritual particle from the Supreme Lord.

The holy being does not conceive of hostility towards any being, but he does not bond with anyone, because even if he does not consider anyone as his enemy, he only exchanges relationships with those who practice devotional service. Whatever he earns, whatever he eats and whatever he does, he offers it to the Sovereign Lord
