will. The developing body in her womb does not belong to this mother, so ending her existence is an abominable crime, an unforgivable fault, which will be severely punished.

Life is for spiritual realization and the restoration of our forgotten relationship with God.

The human form granted to the spiritual entity which incarnates therein is specially intended for the unfolding of Krishna consciousness, the consciousness of God, for this divine consciousness will allow us to regain our Eternal original spiritual body of bliss and knowledge.

The purpose of Krishna consciousness, the consciousness of God is to give us a body of the same nature as that of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person Himself. Knowing one's intimate relationship with the Lord is the supreme goal of human life. Consciousness of God is the art of spiritualizing material activity, of increasing the degree of spiritual realization of the one who accomplishes it, of knowing the universality of God, and the relationship that unites us to Him.

Happy are those who are fortunate enough to die thinking of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, for they will obtain an eternal body like that of the Lord and will join the Sovereign Person in his eternal home.

We must preserve life, not destroy it, and make sure that it is so for each of us.

All this can be avoided, however, if one remains on the spiritual plane of Krishna consciousness, God, the Supreme Person, and with a firm resolution never to interrupt a life.

Better yet, let us all decide to obey God, to respect and apply his precepts, his commandments, his regulatory principles, follow his advice and directives to the letter, and never abort, for all life is sacred and precious.

Logos 436

The spiritual world is the real home of the embodied spiritual beings that we all are. At the origin of all things, we all lived there with God.

This eternal spiritual world is called Vaikuntha, and in Sanskrit this term means “the world without anxiety”. Everything there is radiant and filled with consciousness, bliss, knowledge and eternity.
