The Pure Spiritual Science
Page 665 of 728

I am everyone's true Friend, acting as Spiritual Master of the entire universe, and his home is the human body.

He who is enriched with good qualities is in fact rich, and he who is not is not satisfied in life is in fact poor.

A miserable person is a person who cannot control his senses, while a person who is not attached to the satisfaction of the senses is a true controller [who controls his senses and his mind].

He who attaches himself to feeling satisfaction is the opposite, a slave.

So, I have clarified all the questions you have inquired about. It is not necessary to have a more elaborate description of these good and bad qualities, because constantly seeing good and bad is in itself a bad quality. The best quality is to transcend material good and evil.

Concerning true religious principles, the Lord says:

Firm faith in the accounts of My entertainments, constantly chanting My glories, steadfastly clinging to ceremonial worship to My Person, to praise Me through beautiful hymns, to have great respect for My devotional service, to offer Me full body obedience, to perform first class worship from My faithful devotees, awareness of My Self realized by all living entities, offering ordinary bodily activities in My devotional service, using words to describe My qualities, offering yourself to Me, rejecting all material desires, giving up wealth for My devotional service, renounce material gratification and happiness, and perform all desirable activities such as charity, sacrifice, song, vows and austerities for the purpose of Reaching Me are true religious principles by which human beings who have actually surrendered to Me automatically develop out of love for Me.

What other goal or objective could remain for My devotee?

When the consciousness is fixed on the material body, the house and other similar objects of sensory satisfaction, one spends his life chasing material objects with the help of the senses. Consciousness, thus powerfully affected by passion, devotes itself to impermanent things, and in this way irreligion, ignorance, attachment, and misery arise.

When its peaceful consciousness, strengthened by virtue, is fixed on the Supreme Person, one attains spirituality, knowledge, detachment and opulence.
