The Pure Spiritual Science
Page 637 of 728

The Lord reduces or completely destroys the consequences of the past acts of its devotees. The Lord himself affirms moreover that He always dwells where his pure devotees sing his glories.

Logos 391

Let us move away from the impersonalist philosophy developed by those who refuse to believe that God has a body in human form

Impersonalists cannot conceive of the idea that God has feelings, yet the Lord is indeed satisfied if someone offers Him beautiful prayers or seeks to please Him by doing His divine will, and dissatisfied if one denies his existence or insults him. However, the impersonalists who are almost disbelievers, denigrate the Sovereign Lord by saying that He has no form, because only spiritual. All these mistaken conceptions of the Lord are for Him a cause of discontent, never these atheistic descriptions are pleasing to Him.

In truth, if man has a body in human form, it is quite simply because God has given him bestowed a carnal envelope resembling his divine spiritual body

God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…”

(Genesis 1.26)

It is written: “God created man in his own image: In the image of God, male and female He created him.” (Genesis 1.27)

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person said:

“My spiritual and absolute body [All knowledge, bliss and eternity] resembles the human form in every way, but it is not a material body; he is inconceivable [that is why He is never subject to hunger, thirst or fatigue]. I am not forced by nature to accept any particular type of body; it is of My own free will that I choose the form in which I appear. My heart is also spiritual, and I am always kind to My devotees. So we can discover in My heart the way of devotional service, intended for holy beings, while I have rejected its irreligion and non-devotional activities; they have no attraction on Me. Because of all these divine attributes, prayers are generally addressed to Me under the name of Rsabhadeva, the Sovereign Lord, the best of all living beings”.
