This perfection reached, the soul knows that nothing is more precious and will not stray from the truth, but will remain undisturbed there, even in the midst of the worst difficulties. This is the true liberation from all the suffering born from contact with matter”.
The first quality of communion with the Absolute, God, is that it gradually erases from our consciousness all material concept of life. Then, when the being realizes the Supreme Soul, by his spiritual mind and intelligence, the realized soul, the spiritualist, can experience spiritual ecstasy or spiritual bliss, without ever committing the error which would be to identify himself , as a separate soul, to the Supreme Soul. When he ceases all material activity, the being begins to act on the spiritual level, in the service of the Lord, in Krishna consciousness. He then knows real life, out of all material contamination, out of maya, illusion. To escape this impure contact with matter does not imply that being is destroyed in its original and eternal nature of the individual. Absolute spiritual bliss marks real life. The Absolute is, by nature, total praise. This total, natural bliss, inherent in the spiritual being, is the ultimate goal of fellowship with the Supreme Being, and can be easily acquired through devotional service. As long as we have a material body, we will have to meet its requirements; eat, sleep, mate and defend.
Being pure is not lacking in this rule, but it does so as necessary, without seeking excitement of the senses. Decided to make good fortune against bad luck, he made the best use of the burden of a material body, and, conscious of God, he enjoyed in this world an entirely spiritual happiness. Steadfast in the face of the multiple vicissitudes of existence, accidents, illnesses, poverty, death of a loved one, he consistently and enthusiastically fulfills his duty in Krishna consciousness.
Nothing takes it away. He is tolerant, because he knows that these sorrows, which endlessly come and go, can in no way affect his service to God. Thus, he achieves perfection in fellowship with the Absolute, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.
Logos 332
The Lord says: “Let Me instruct you on the five factors of the act, which describes the philosophy of sankhya: they are the place, the author, the senses, the effort and, above all, the Soul Supreme. Whatever act, good or bad, that man performs through the body, mind or verb, proceeds from these five factors. And so, whoever believes himself to be acting alone, who does not consider the five factors of the act, does not
