withdrawn in an instant by the Lord’s supreme will. Thus, materialistic civilization, deprived of the Lord's blessing, resembles a child's game: as long as the parents allow the child to play, everything is fine, but they prevent it and the child will have to interrupt his games. Likewise, human civilization with all the activities which flow from it must be in harmony with the supreme blessing of the Lord, otherwise all the progress which humanity seems to make is worth no more than ornaments placed on a corpse.

The activities of a dead civilization with divine will are like clarified butter thrown on ashes, riches accumulated by magic, and seeds sown in sterile soil.

Logos 301

The Supreme Eternal is “death and immortality”, both at the same time.

The Lord says: “I am the ultimate death, which takes everything from demonic beings.”

Demonic beings are continually plunged into a struggle for existence, because they want to reign supreme over material nature. They repeatedly die and create an inextricable network that keeps them prisoners of this material world. The Lord is death for demonic beings, but for his devotees (and devotees), He is eternal life. The holy beings who are constantly working to serve him have already achieved immortality because, whatever their activity in this life, they will pursue it in the following: they will only have to change their material body for a body spiritual. Unlike demonic beings, holy beings no longer have to take on new material bodies. Thus, the Lord is simultaneously death and immortality. It is death for demonic beings and immortality for holy beings. For all He is the ultimate goal, because He is the cause of all causes. All intelligent beings are advised to surrender to God in all respects, without keeping any personal ambition and to serve him with love and devotion, in order to be able to benefit from the immortality offered by the Lord.

The Eternal Supreme says: “The men freed from the duality, fruit of the illusion, those who in their past lives as in this life, were virtuous, those in whom sin completely ended, these Me serve with determination.”

These (and these) will join the Lord in his absolute kingdom and will thus be able to continue to serve him with love and devotion for eternity.
