Logos 302

How can we love the world we live in, when the kingdom of God is a thousand times more beautiful and pleasant to live in?

The intelligent and wise man is able to understand that nothing has real value in the material universe; everything is “bad” because of the defilement of material nature. The materialists' judgments about what is right or wrong, moral or immoral, and so on, are based on entirely relative feelings, or on an arbitrary conception.

Because the holy being sees everything with a spiritual eye, he remains equal in all circumstances, this is the sign of his elevation to the spiritual level. He spontaneously acquires detachment, then knowledge, followed by true spiritual knowledge. The advanced saint is unified with the transcendent nature of the Lord and develops the same qualities as Him. In this sense, he qualitatively becomes one with God, the Sovereign Person. Abandoning himself to God and serving him with love and devotion, he can then enter the kingdom of God, all of knowledge, bliss and eternity, from where he will never return to this ephemeral material world.

The Eternal Supreme says: “According to the body which is granted to him, the materialist being wanders from a planet to the other, being absorbed in the interested action of which he interminably harvests the fruits”.

Changing material bodies life after life, the materialist not only travels through different living species, but also from planet to planet. The Lord explains that the
