Logos 358

We are all born unclean, and we can all become clean. God gives us our whole life to achieve it.

In truth, if we are serious, we can become pure in all places, in North, Central and South America, in the Caribbean, in Europe, in Africa, in Asia, Oceania, everywhere.

We must purify ourselves by strictly following the following regulatory principles; Not to have sex outside of marriage, not to eat meat, fish or eggs, not to take drugs and exciting products such as alcohol, coffee, tea, cigarettes, not to play gambling, and reciting or chanting the Holy Names of God on our rosary, so that we will no longer live in sin.

In truth, the four regulating principles mean renouncing the materialistic life centered on the pleasure of the senses, for a much more sublime spiritual life, which allows us to serve God with love and devotion.

It is also important to walk in the footsteps of holy beings, of holy characters, to practice austerity, penance, repentance, if we are to achieve transcendental realization. Each of us must experience a certain austerity to prepare for our future. Austerity is the sincere, voluntary and definitive renunciation of all desires linked to the pleasures of the senses. So, let's practice austerity, the regulatory principles mentioned above, in order to achieve permanent happiness. For this, we must purify our existence and our body. As long as we have a material body, we will have to change it and therefore reincarnate again and again.

But as soon as we have a spiritual body, there will no longer be any question of change and therefore of transmigration. This spiritual body, we already have in truth, but it is covered by our material body.

Because of our material contamination, we acquire a material body. Conversely, if we lead a spiritual life, we develop a spiritual body. If we persist in our spiritual commitment, our body will act spiritually, although it is material, and if we constantly remain Krishna-aware, God-aware, we will spiritualize in the same way. We will act spiritually, free from material demands.

Acquire awareness of God, associate with holy beings, and so will we. Let us surrender to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and serve him with love and devotion, then our life will be pure. Such is the perfection of existence.
