The Religion of God — Man from beginning to end
(2000)
“ Such souls after coming into the world became trapped and their destiny lay in the hands of whomever they became attached to. Many souls remained looking at the magnificent Manifestation of God and did not desire the world or heaven. God started to love these souls and these souls loved God. It is such souls, that after coming into the world and only for God and God-realization, they abandoned the material world, became ascetics and lived in the jungles. To serve the souls and for their pleasure, eighteen thousand types of creatures were created. ”
