should use the human form of body from the very beginningof life A in other words from the tender age of childhood Ato practice the activities of devotional service giving up allother engagements. The human body is most rarelyachieved and although temporary li+e other bodies it ismeaningful because in human life one can performdevotional service. Bven a slight amount of sinceredevotional service can give one complete perfection.

The Srst stage of +nowledge is understandingthat one is not the body but the eternal soul.

This frees one from material conceptions..

Though this is an eternal state it is not the theultimate word in +nowledge. ow one canunderstand with his spiritualiVed senses aboutGod.

This happens by the process of hearing aboutGod through the scriptures or Guru andpreferably both.

The "upersoul seated besides theindividual soul is the witness of theindividual soulWs activities and is the
