The Pure Spiritual Science

Without Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the living being is nothing and can do absolutely nothing. He can neither see, nor hear, nor act without the active principle, God. It is thanks to God alone that all bodies of matter, whatever their form, which are initially inert, become active. He alone directs the senses.

The body has five organs of perception, five organs of action and the mind, but in fact it is only inert matter. Because it is only a mass of matter, the brain does not have the power to act on its own. It can only function when it benefits from the energy of the Supreme Lord. Also, it is thanks to God the active principle, the fundamental principle and the essence of life, and because the Lord sees, smells, hears, tastes, feels and acts, that we can all too.

It is indeed the Supreme Soul present in us, in our hearts to all, who directs our senses when we seek to enjoy the various material pleasures, even if we are not aware of it, because we cannot see, she who nevertheless directs us all. The embodied and conditioned soul that each of us is feels desires and the Supreme Soul grants them, but we all remain unable to see it.

Only those who have surrendered themselves to God, and who serve him with love and devotion, those can see it constantly.

Holy beings desire to cultivate the consciousness of God, the consciousness of Krishna, and to access the service of absolute love offered to the Lord. But this loving service is the most perfect level of self-control.

Sensory activities are the symptoms of life, and no one can stop them. The senses can only be detached from matter if they are given a higher occupation. One can indeed put an end to the material function of the senses if one directs them towards a higher occupation, and the supreme occupation as regards the senses, consists in serving the Lord with love and devotion. This is the most sublime method of achieving it.

From then on, the devout servant of Krishna constantly uses his senses in the loving and devotional service he offers to the Lord. He offers to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the fruits of his senses and of his actions, for the Lord being the owner of all that is, He is also its rightful supreme beneficiary.

Yes, because everything emanates from God, He is quite naturally the supreme owner, the supreme beneficiary, but also the supreme Friend. If anyone knows these three points, and only these, he has full knowledge. God is the owner of Everything, the Friend of all beings, and the beneficiary of Everything. He is the supreme beneficiary, the one who has enjoyment of Everything.
