Logos 426

The spiritual soul, on its own, enlightens the entire material body with consciousness. Consciousness is the concrete evidence of the presence of the spiritual soul in the body.

Consciousness is a manifestation of the spiritual soul, the major principle, the essence of the spiritual soul, the energy of the soul, it is the soul itself.

The soul is present in the heart of the living being, the celestial being, the human being, the animal and the plant, it is the source of all the energies that support the body. The energy of the soul is diffused in all the material body, it is what one calls the conscience.

The conscience, it is the perception which one has of oneself, it is this which allows us to say “I am”.

Consciousness is the manifestation and major energy of the soul. It is the particular consciousness of an individual soul that directs its actions.

The brain is, in truth, only an instrument having no relation to the real intelligence, which is found in blade. True intelligence is also another major principle of the soul, for it is in the soul that it is found, and nowhere else.

Real intelligence, mind and consciousness in their pure form are inherent in the spiritual soul distinct from God. This allows us to state with complete certainty that the brain of the material body is not the center of intelligence, and that it is the consciousness of the soul which determines the intelligence of its actions.

whatever brain we have, our life will be successful if we simply turn our consciousness away from matter and direct it to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

Anyone who adopts the path of Krishna consciousness, the consciousness of God, accesses the highest perfection of existence, regardless of the downfall into which he may have fallen. In other words, anyone in Krishna consciousness will return to God when they leave their dense matter body.

Consciousness is individual. Because consciousness remains unique to the individual, it remains unchanged despite the transformation of the body or the change of material envelope. Thus, the physical constitution has no relation to the development of consciousness, which itself follows all the movements of the soul through its transmigrations [its reincarnations].
