Only one who evolves at the level of pure virtue can approach God, know him as he is and serve him. God is the Supreme Spiritual Being, the ultimate home, the Sovereign Purifier. All living beings are beings of a spiritual nature, but Krishna is He, God, the Supreme Being. He is also the ultimate abode of all things and the purest of all pure. To approach Him, therefore, one must be perfectly pure, and for this purpose morality and ethics are required. This is why God says: “Be holy, as I am Holy”

This is also why it is forbidden to have illicit sexual relations, outside marriage, to consume animal flesh (meat, fish and egg), all substances intoxicants such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, marijuana and other drugs; and from gambling, gambling, or monetary speculation. Who knows how to avoid these four pillars of sin can remain pure. Krishna consciousness is based on this morality; anyone who cannot follow the above principles will fall from the spiritual plane.

Purity is the fundamental principle of divine consciousness and is essential to the reestablishment of our eternal relationship with God.

The Lord says: “Forward you entirely mine. By My grace you will know absolute peace, and you will attain My eternal and supreme abode.”

Logos 403

Nothing can happen or happen without God allowing or willing it.

Only one for whom everything is originally intended, the Sovereign Lord, Krishna, is sure to always achieve victory. God is the originator of the creation, preservation and destruction of the universe, and He knows everything. Being under His dependence and forced to put on material bodies, living beings, who are subordinate to Him, sometimes experience victory and sometimes defeat.

The Lord said: “I stand in the heart of every being, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetting.”

In a fight, the adversaries act according to the will of God, the Sovereign Person, who is the Supreme Soul.

The Lord Krishna says: “Under the influence of the three gunas [of the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance], the soul misled by the false ego [the desire to dominate material nature and the fact of identifying with one's body] believes to be the author of its acts, whereas in reality, they are accomplished by nature.”
