Why did the Supreme Eternal One immerse the spiritual soul in the material universe?
Who are we really? What is our true spiritual identity?
Truly, at the beginning of all things, there existed only God, the Supreme Eternal One, and He alone, in His personal, primordial, original, infinite, and absolute form.
This is why God says: There is truly nothing that exists besides Me; this is what you must clearly understand.
God, the Supreme Personality, is unborn and without beginning. This is because He possesses within His divine spiritual essence all the source principles, which give Him absolute power. There is no difference between his totally spiritual body, his Soul, and his mind, for they are One. His body, although composed of two parts, the body itself from which emerge spiritual rays that compose a radiance, and this dazzling radiance, are One.
God's pure spiritual body has a human form, which He also gave to man.
It is written: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)
