As long as we remain in the material universe, it is our duty to comply with the Lord's instructions, and if His grace allows us to be released from the clutches of matter, then we can, in the released state, continue to serve him with love and devotion. Our material condition does not allow us to see the Lord, or even to know our true identity, because we are deprived of spiritual vision. But if we break our bonds with this material condition, find our original spiritual form, and then we can see our own selves, as well as the Lord, face to face. This is the method which allows the afflicted beings to be relieved by the action of intransigent material laws as they manifest themselves through the four relentless factors of material existence; birth, illness, old age and death.
Humming the song of the Saints Krishna names: Haré Krishna, haré Krishna, Krishna Krishna, haré haré / Haré Rama, haré Rama, Rama Rama, haré haré.

To hum this sublime song of the Holy Names of the Lord, to surrender to Him and to serve Him with love and devotion, makes it possible to break the chains which hold us prisoners of matter and this material world, in order to go to God in his kingdom, live by his side and see him face to face for eternity.

In the material world, we create a false self, which prompts us to identify with our material body. This is how we come to consider ourselves Americans, Europeans, Africans, whites, blacks, young or old etc. Under the influence of matter, we also identify with thoughts and agitations of the mind, all ephemeral. In reality, the self has its own eternal identity as well as a spiritual form, beyond the realm of matter. At the time of liberation, we abandon this feeling of false ego (which consists in identifying with one's body and acting in the bodily concept of existence), located beyond the mind and the material body, to realize our true spiritual nature. It is the liberated self that can taste the joys of the nectar of immortality. Liberation without the individual self is like spiritual suicide. In truth, upon liberation, the individual self, the spiritual soul) leaves its body and continues to exist to enjoy a life of freedom, eternity, knowledge and bliss.
As soon as he acts in the consciousness of krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the incarnate being is freed, freed from the frightening intricacies of matter.
