undeveloped conscience. If anyone reveals themselves to be aware of God soon after birth, it is because they once meditated on Him.

The Eternal Supreme says: “Then he recovers the divine consciousness acquired in his past life and resumes his walk towards perfection.”

The development of our awareness of God is never lost. It grows to perfection. This is why the Lord declares:

“No effort in this direction results in the least loss, and any progress, however modest, warns of the most formidable danger.”

Logos 288

Our material body from material nature, which is itself the external energy of God, causes forgetfulness. Thus, through the material body in which it is embodied, the soul forgets who it is, as well as all of its previous lives.

The real purpose of existence, however, is to master the art of distinguishing the soul from the material body, so that, when the time comes for their separation (this is what we call death), we can continue to exist in our original spiritual form. As long as one remains attached to the material body, one must continue to transmigrate, to reincarnate, from one body to another. By detaching oneself from the body, one frees oneself from this transmigration; this is what we call liberation. We can continue to exist in our spiritual form while still thinking of God. So meditation is really defined.

The LORD Supreme says: “Always think of Me, become My devotee, offer Me your homage and worship Me, and you will surely come to Me. I promise you, because you are My dear friend.”

The Supreme Lord adds: “I stand in the heart of every being, and from Me come memory, knowledge and forgetfulness.”

God reminds the living being that without the realization of his true identity as a spiritual being, he will not remember anything. The Supreme Soul located in the heart of all living beings always accompanies them.
