The Three Forms of Destiny.

The three forms of destiny are those attained by beings who are subject to the influence of the three attributes and modes of material nature: virtue, passion, and ignorance.

They are sometimes defined as the states of wakefulness, dreaming, and unconsciousness. These are the states respectively attained by beings dominated by virtue, passion, or ignorance.

Beings under the influence of virtue are granted better living conditions on the higher, Edenic, or paradisiacal planets.

Those dominated by passion remain in the material universe, on a terrestrial-type planet or on the paradisiacal planets.

As for those enveloped by ignorance, they are reduced to the animal level on planets where life takes forms inferior to those of human beings.

But the conscious being of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, transcends the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature. Whoever dedicates themselves to the service of devotion offered to the Lord automatically transcends the three forms of destiny linked to the material nature, establishing themselves at the level of spiritual realization.

Human life is meant to rekindle our eternal loving relationship with Lord Krishna, and all religious injunctions serve to awaken this dormant nature. Developing one's love for God is the highest perfection of existence.

Whoever knows God as He truly is, along with His divine qualities and glories, simultaneously knows Absolute Truth.

All those who do not know the works of God know nothing, for they are truly ignorant of Absolute Truth.

All those who do not seek to know the roots of evil in order to eradicate them definitively will remain slaves of evil.

All those who are ignorant of their true spiritual identity, who do not know who they truly are, nor how they came into this material world, will neither understand nor know how they will depart, nor where they will go. They will remain prisoners of this world where suffering reigns.

All those who do not reject envy, desire, covetousness, materialism, and evil in all its forms, and who do not extinguish anger, greed, lust, and vengeance, close the doors to existential and absolute truth.

All those who do not seek God, who do not seek to know Him as He truly is, nor seek to receive His divine word and sublime teaching, remain in darkness; they will never see the light.

All those who do not seek to know the place from which they originated, nor the bond that unites each of them to the Lord, will have these things hidden from them. They are like blind people who do not know where to go, nor how.

The path that leads surely to pure light, to the sublime kingdom of God, is the surrender of oneself to the Lord, and the service of love and devotion that we offer Him. Such is the perfection of existence.
