Any member of every community, in human society, as well as in the animal kingdom and plant, every human being, cow, dog, goat, insect, grass, shrub, tree, etc., has a role to play and acts for the good of all the others. Everyone must work in harmony with others, for the benefit of the whole society, which includes not only mobile beings but also still beings, mountains, hills, the earth. The community of men made up of traders, farmers and businessmen, through the production of cereals, the protection of cows, the transport of food when necessary, and financial activity, is particularly found responsible for the economic progress of society.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person teaches us that even cats and dogs, although of no great importance, should not be neglected, the protection of the cow nevertheless keeps the first place. Likewise, the most degraded of men who are called “intouchables” in India, or tramps among Westerners, should not be “forgotten” by the higher groups of society. Each being is important, some, however, are primarily responsible for the progress of human society, others more indirectly. When Krishna consciousness reigns, the consciousness of God, everyone finds what will be for him the highest benefit.

All these elements are linked to each other, and interdependent with each other. But in the final analysis, the Lord is the summum bonum, the Supreme Sovereign, the ultimate goal of the living being, and therefore the vital principle of all things.

Logos 407

God, the Supreme Person, has a infinite number of Names, here are just a few.

Verily, God, the Supreme and Sovereign Person, has no Name, or rather, no one knows how many He has. because God is infinite, unlimited, so are his Names. He therefore bears various Names according to the various aspects of his absolute personality, his qualities and his glories.

Proceeding of this same quality, the Names of God have the power to purify whoever sings them. There is no difference between chanting the Name of the Lord and living in his divine personal company. The reason is that God is absolute, beyond any duality. The Lord is fully present in his Name, the two, God and his Holy Name, are intrinsically the same. Thus God transcends all duality, since his Name and his Person are one.

Nevertheless, certain Names suit Him better as a Divine and Supreme Person.
