The search for true values is a constant preoccupation. In body-consciousness we mistakenly think that the physical world and physical relations can provide peace, love and happiness. However these are not the properties of matter, nor of physical identity, but the true characteristics of the soul. This has to be realized. It is here that the soul takes on a body of flesh and bones and expresses the role that it has latent within itself.
Souls act through their body costumes causing variations in the material environment.
The state of the material world at any given moment is a direct reflection of the state of consciousness of the human beings which inhabit it. I am fully charged with spiritual energy which naturally manifests as love, joy, peace and purity when I first come into this physical world. Gradually, by taking many births, I become attached to the senses and the various sense objects and I forget my original attributes. These forces have their roots in body-consciousness or the illusion that existence is entirely physical. My ability to control matter is supplanted by matter controlling me.
