Logos 221

The Lord says: “When an individual being, believing himself to be different from Me, forgets his spiritual identity, according to which he is only One with Me qualifying, both in eternity and in knowledge and bliss , its conditioned material existence then begins. In other words, instead of identifying his interests with mine, he begins to take an interest in the extensions of his body, such as his wife, children and material possessions. Thus, by the effect of his acts, one birth is followed by another, and one death by another death”.

Do not listen to the demonic unbelievers who claim that the spiritual being is the equal of God, the Supreme Person, because therein lies the cause of conditioned existence. As soon as a being distinct from God forgets his own position and seeks to become one with the Absolute, his conditioned existence begins. It is indeed the conception that the Supreme Lord and the spiritual being distinct from God are equal not only in quality, but also in quantity, which is at the origin of conditioned existence. Anyone who forgets the difference between the Supreme Lord and the distinct being is subject to the conditions of the material world, which implies that he will have to abandon one body to accept another, and die to die again.

Logos 222

Why can those who deny the existence of God and reject his authority never see it?

God says: “It is only by devotional service, and only in this way, that one can know me as I am”.

The Lord adds: “I never show myself to fools or fools; by my internal power I am veiled for them. This lost world therefore does not know me, the Unborn, the Imperishable.”

The Eternal Supreme is revealed and revealed only to those who abandon themselves to Him, and who serve Him with love and devotion. This is why human beings wonder where God is and even go, out of ignorance, to say that he is dead or that He does not exist.
