God needs nothing, for with all His own internal powers, He is self-sufficient. But desiring to increase His personal happiness, He wanted to surround Himself with beings who would bring Him this joy. Therefore, He gave the rays that compose the radiance of His body an existence distinct from Himself. From that moment on, while connected to God and distinct from Him, these spiritual rays, by virtue of composing the radiant body of God, are in fact also unborn, beginningless, and eternal. These spiritual rays or sparks are also called spirit souls, spiritual entities, and spiritual beings. Each of us is a spiritual spark, composing the radiant body of Godhead.

We are all minute fragments, tiny particles, integral parts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.

As I mentioned above, the body of God, although composed of two parts that make up only one, is different from that of man, for the latter is actually a trilogy. It is composed of a body of dense matter, an ethereal body in which the soul is enclosed, and the spiritual soul itself, which is the true identity of the incarnate spiritual being. Each of us is a spiritual soul, not the perishable material body.

God, in His personal, primordial, original, infinite, and absolute form, sees His radiance completely envelop Him, which has led some “spiritual guides” to say that the Supreme Lord was an impersonal, that is, formless, spiritual Being. This is why this idea has spread throughout the world, preventing humanity from accessing the true knowledge of God, as He truly is.

The true trinity.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His primordial form, is the source of the other two forms of Him. In His second aspect, He is called the Impersonal Spiritual Being, formed by His radiance, and the source of bliss. This is the only aspect of God known to believers on earth. And in His third aspect, He is known as the Supreme Spiritual Soul, which Jesus called the Holy Spirit, who resides in the hearts of all living beings, celestial beings, human beings, animals, and plants. This is why Jesus said that the material bodies in which spirit souls are incarnated are temples of the Supreme Lord.

God, the Eternal Supreme, has an infinite number of Names, including: El Shaddai, El Elohe, Adonai, Yahweh, Jehovah, Awoon, which means “Eternal Father” in Aramaic, Allah, Krishna, etc., but Krishna is the first and most powerful of all, for the Lord has invested him with power.

Krishna is the original Name of God, the Supreme Personality, in His personal, primordial, original, infinite, and absolute spiritual form. This sublime spiritual Name, Krishna, means “the infinitely fascinating,” “the one who infinitely fascinates.” Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality, is goodness personified.

He is the original source of all the plenary emanations of His Person, and of all the Avatars.

It is Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who reigns and directs the material universe as well as the spiritual world.

When spirituality declines somewhere in the universe, Lord Krishna Himself comes at regular intervals and descends on a specific planet in a given galaxy to protect His devotees and holy beings, annihilate the demonic miscreants, eliminate the evil kings who torture and cause His devotees and holy beings to suffer, and restore spirituality. But He also sends His intimate companions, His sons or messengers, who descend from His kingdom with the mission of spreading knowledge of His divine person and disseminating His sublime teachings throughout the earth, with a view to saving humanity and leading them to God.
