True intelligence, the mind, and consciousness in their pure form are inherent in the spiritual soul, distinct from God. This allows us to state with certainty that the brain of the physical body is not the center of intelligence, and that it is the consciousness of the soul that determines the intelligence of its actions.

Located in the heart, it distributes its energy throughout the body. The blood cells, which carry the oxygen stored in the lungs, draw their energy from the soul. This is why the blood ceases to circulate and perform its functions as soon as the soul leaves the body.

In truth, it is the life force that gives the soul its power, and this power resides in the individual soul and in the Supreme Soul, God. It is through the presence of this life force that the body develops and grows. Thus, beyond the existence of the body, there are the Supreme Soul and the individual soul, both residing in the heart of the living being, human or animal.

The body exists thanks to the presence of the Supreme Lord, who activates the senses and the mind, and who allows the individual soul, a tiny fragment, an integral part of the Divine Person, Krishna, to use it as it sees fit.

The spiritual soul is by nature an asexual spiritual entity, and is therefore neither male nor female. It has no past, present, or future, and does not age like the body, for it is eternally young, nor does it produce offspring. Being by nature spiritual in essence, a tiny particle, an integral part of Lord Krishna, the soul must detach itself from matter and return to the spiritual world, from which it originated, and where its original abode lies. This is the true purpose of existence.

Spiritual education disseminates knowledge of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person as He truly is, along with His sublime teachings, emphasizing that we must all live according to the Lord's teachings. It empowers those seeking spiritual elevation to achieve it and attain Krishna consciousness. It reveals existential and absolute truth.

It enables one to know the good qualities, the right attitude, the ideal behavior, and the purity that one must acquire and constantly manifest in order to avoid following paths that lead to ignorance of the truth, to perdition, and that multiply suffering.

It teaches what must absolutely be done and explains what must absolutely not be done.

Spiritual education is the foundation of the science of God, of the Lord's teachings. It enables us to understand that the spiritual soul is different and distinct from the physical body in which it resides, and that the soul—which each of us truly is and not the body with which we mistakenly identify—is the central point of life.

It is transmitted by an authentic spiritual master, a true intimate servant of God, who knows Krishna and has seen the truth, but also by parents devoted to the Lord, who wish to guide their children on the right path, which consists of living according to God's teachings, for their own good.
