Answer 2

What is this consciousness? This consciousness is "I am." Then what am I? In contaminated consciousness "I am" means "I am the lord of all I survey. I am the enjoyer." The world revolves because every living being thinks that he is the lord and creator of the material world. Material consciousness has two psychic divisions. One is that I am the creator, and the other is that I am the enjoyer. But actually the Supreme Lord is both the creator and the enjoyer, and the living entity, being part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, is neither the creator nor the enjoyer, but a cooperator. He is the created and the enjoyed. For instance, a part of a machine cooperates with the whole machine; a part of the body cooperates with the whole body. The hands, legs, eyes, and so on are all parts of the body, but they are not actually the enjoyers. The stomach is the enjoyer. The legs move, the hands supply food, the teeth chew, and all parts of the body are engaged in satisfying the stomach because the stomach is the principal factor that nourishes the body's organization. Therefore everything is given to the stomach. One nourishes the tree by watering its root, and one nourishes the body by feeding the stomach, for if the body is to be kept in a healthy state, then the parts of the body must cooperate to feed the stomach. Similarly, the Supreme Lord is the enjoyer and the creator, and we, as subordinate living beings, are meant to cooperate to satisfy Him. This cooperation will actually help us, just as food taken by the stomach will help all other parts of the body. If the fingers of the hand think that they should take the food themselves instead of giving it to the stomach, then they will be frustrated. The central figure of creation and of enjoyment is the Supreme Lord, and the living entities are cooperators. By cooperation they enjoy. The relation is also like that of the master and the servant. If the master is fully satisfied, then the servant is satisfied. Similarly, the Supreme Lord should be satisfied, although the tendency to become the creator and the tendency to enjoy the material world are there also in the living entities because these tendencies are there in the Supreme Lord who has created the manifested cosmic world.

If you are following Jesus Christ I suggest that this is the way. Get yourself a proper spiritual birth. This involves repentance from dead works, true faith towards God, baptism in water and baptism in the Holy Spirt. Then continue steadfastly with learning God's word, be a active member of a good Spirit-filled church, break bread consistently, praying in the Spirit for all things as often as you can, obtain the direction of the Holy Spirit for each step of your walk with God, deny yourself, take up the cross daily and follow Jesus faithfully. When you do all this you will be guided by the Holy Spirit into God's will and plan for your life..

Answer 4

I look at the physical body, the emotional body, the mental body and the spiritual aspects of a person as vehicles for which the soul can express itself. Each of these vehicles is a tool for the use of the soul. Therefore we, as individuals and as groups, can do our best to make sure our bodies are kept in their best shape in order to serve our souls. Our physical bodies should be kept as strong and healthy as possible in order to assist our fellow man, our emotional bodies should be kept free of hatred, guilt, doubt, criticism and our mental bodies should be open to new concepts and to sharing ideas. Holy signifies a whole. Making our whole self as fit as possible so that we can serve others is the best way I'm currently aware of to be of use to the Creator.
