The laws of nature compel it to approach different parents. The supposed kinship between a father and a son therefore exists only through an arrangement of material nature. It has no real meaning, and that is why it is said to be illusory. The same living being will have a father and a mother belonging sometimes to the animal kingdom and sometimes to the human species. Sometimes, his parents will be celestial beings.
This is why Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Golden Avatar, says: Harassed life after life by the laws of nature, the distinct being (distinct from God) wanders throughout the entire universe on different planets and among various species. If, in some way, he is fortunate enough to encounter a holy being who will change his entire life, he will then be able to return to God, to his original abode.
During the reincarnation of the soul through different bodies, everyone, whether human, animal, plant, or celestial, obtains a father and a mother. Therefore, there is nothing difficult about this. What is difficult, however, is obtaining a bona fide spiritual master and Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, it is the duty of every human being to seize the opportunity to come into contact with Krishna's representative, the bona fide spiritual master, the intimate servant of the Lord. Under the guidance of this spiritual father, they can then return to God, to their original abode in the kingdom of God, all knowledge, bliss, and eternity.
One who succeeds in establishing a harmonious relationship with such a sage, even for a moment, attains perfection. In one way or another, one who meets a saintly person and obtains his favor sees their entire mission as a human being crowned with success.
By the grace of this holy spiritual master and true servant of God, we are now busy performing a specific duty, having obtained a spiritual occupation that will save us by freeing us from material pursuits. Indeed, anyone who encounters a holy personage completely absorbed in their spiritual duties and obtains their favor will have their mission as a human being crowned with success. What is impossible to achieve through thousands of lifetimes can be attained in an instant by one fortunate enough to encounter a holy man, a wise servant of God.
This is why the holy Vedic scriptures (the Vedas, the original holy scriptures also called “the true gospel”) advise us to always seek the company of sages and strive to break all ties with atheistic, materialistic men, for with a word a saint can free us from material slavery. Indeed, by virtue of his spiritual elevation, a saint has the power to instantly liberate any soul conditioned by matter.
When a person, even an outcast, is initiated into the chanting of the holy names of the Lord by a holy being, their body is transformed as they follow the instructions of their spiritual master.
Although we cannot see how this transformation takes place, we must nevertheless accept this truth, based on the authoritative teachings of the holy scriptures, that this person changes their body. This person escapes the bonds of matter.
