Logos 250

The Supreme Eternal says: “One called realized soul, the being to which the spiritual knowledge and the realization of this knowledge give the fullness. He has reached the spiritual level and has self-control. With an equal eye he sees gold, pebble and clod of earth. Even higher, he who sees with an equal eye the indifferent, the impartial, the benefactor and the envious, the friend and the enemy, the virtuous and the sinner”.

No one can, using senses contaminated by matter, understand the spiritual and absolute nature of the Name, Form, Attributes and Entertainment of God. They are revealed only to the man charged, by his service of devotion to the Lord, with spiritual energy. The science of God, that is to say the science that enables man to reach the consciousness of God, which simple learning, material knowledge cannot do. To understand it, one must have the good fortune to come into contact with a person of pure conscience, who, fulfilled by his service and devotion to God, has, by his grace, fully realized this knowledge. Spiritual knowledge keeps us unruffled in our beliefs, while academic knowledge leaves us confused and confused in the face of alleged contradictions. One does not become perfect until one has passed from intellectual knowledge of the texts to their realization.

Because he has surrendered to God, being aware of his spiritual identity masters his senses. He is on the spiritual level, because his knowledge has nothing in common with secular scholarship. The latter, like intellectual speculation, for some as precious as gold, has, in his eyes, no more value than a clod of earth or a stone.

Logos 251

Consciously or not, each of us engages in sinful activities. When we take water from a pitcher, we kill the germs in it. When we use a mill, or eat food, we still kill many germs. When we sweep the ground, or when we start a fire, we still destroy many germs of life. Walking down the street, we kill large numbers of ants and other insects. Consciously or not, in each of our various activities, we kill. Divine justice will severely punish us for these crimes, and we will have to suffer in our next life.

This is why we must sing the song of the saints of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, every day to be freed from the consequences of these sinful acts.

Haré Krishna, haré Krishna, Krishna Krishna, haré haré / Haré Rama, haré Rama, Rama Rama, haré haré.
