beyond the living being, as well as its material envelope. The two energies, material and spiritual, act under My sovereign authority. I ask you not to grieve so much, and to try to see everything with philosophy. You will therefore understand that you are always with Me, and that there is therefore no cause for lamentation in the separation of our bodies”.

Logos 291

Everything is designed by God for a specific purpose, the evolution and return of the living being (the soul) to God.

The living being evolves from one species to another, from the tree to the vegetable, then to the insect, to the fish, to the bird, to the animal and finally to the human form. In the latter, the evolution is fully manifested, which one could compare to a flower which blossoms from a bud. When a being gets human form, his duty is to understand the relationship he has broken with God. If he loses this opportunity, he may well regress into a lower form. Everything serves some purpose of God and the whole work of creation aims at the return of the living being to God, to his eternal kingdom.

In the human form, we can make good or bad use of our consciousness. It’s up to us to decide. According to God's directives, nature has taken us through so many species. Having now obtained human form, we can choose to return to God or to go through the cycle of reincarnation again. If we are fortunate, we will make the right choice according to God's instructions. Our life will then be crowned with success. The individual soul transmigrates from one form to another. But who can say if the following form will approach perfection?

If we are to progress without fail and enter the kingdom of God forever, then let us surrender to Him and serve him with love and devotion.

Logos 292

Punishment for a crime is justified because it brings justice and restores rights. Therefore, who kills an animal can expect the same fate. Such is justice. According to divine law, justice demands that the murderer be sentenced to death. It would be unfair to spare him since by escaping death he also escapes justice: he will therefore have to suffer terribly in his next life. In order to spare him such torment, the murderer must be put to death in his present life.
