company of spiritually elevated people. We must then begin the practice of the service of love and devotion which we will dedicate to the Lord. This practice frees us from all material attachment, strengthens our progress in spiritual realization, and increases our pleasure in hearing about Lord Krishna, the Absolute Person, from which is born a deep attachment for the conscience of God; attachment that matures in love for God, the first degree of pure love of God, which is the highest perfection of life.

As soon as the pure love of God is known, one serves the Lord with constancy, with infinite love, and it is thus, by following the gradual process of devotional service that one can attain the highest spirituality, free from any attachment to material goods, free from the fear of being an eternally distinct soul, and free from the frustrations that nihilism generates. Only then can one join the Supreme Lord in his eternal home.

Using whatever Krishna has in his service (thoughts, words, deeds, body, mind, intelligence, life, goods, etc.), he immediately unites with Him. This is the perfection of the consciousness of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. He who becomes attached to Krishna and acts only to please Him is set free; he does not think of enjoying the fruit of his actions. Being concerned with the results of the action proves that one remains in the grip of duality, ignorant of the Absolute Truth, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. Duality has no place in the consciousness of God. All that exists is the product of the energy of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, Absolute Truth, which is perfect in every way. And every act related to Krishna is also
