Consciousness then super consciousness.

A soul united to God becomes God Himself; that soul automatically detaches itself from all the effects of past actions that were carried out in previous lives. The soul changes condition: it ceases to be a limited entity, identified with a body and subject to karma, and ascends to a state of eternal freedom that lies beyond the influence of karma. The yogi must, therefore, remain always focused at the center of the Christian consciousness, located in the middle, feeling the omnipresent joy of God, even while performing with close attention the actions prescribed by duty. When he is able to live like this, he already knows the supreme art of action and is a true yogi.

The knowledge that Bhagavan Krishna imparts to Arjuna (a very advanced disciple on the spiritual path) in regards to divine union expresses the supreme state that the devotee should attain. Although not even the veteran devotee can quickly attain the consciousness of God uninterruptedly while carrying out all the demanding duties of life (nirvikalpa samadhi), even so, every moment of deep meditation devoted to seeking union with God, every effort to practice equanimity and renunciation to the desire of the fruits of actions, imparts its reward, since it eliminates suffering, establishes peace and joy, mitigates karma and diminishes errors in decisive actions, merced to greater attunement with the rector wisdom of God.

As the Guita advises, in every sincere spiritual effort it is essential to count on the blessings and guidance of the Guru. The faithful disciple follows with great devotion the sadhana (the path of spiritual discipline and yogic meditation technique) taught by the guru. Through this sadhana, the guru helps the disciple invisibly reach the ever-higher stages of the art of divine union. If the disciple practices his spiritual exercises regularly and in depth, and advances on the path, it is possible that the guru will present himself visibly on the astral plane to guide him in his progress. With the help of the Guru, all barriers to the ignorance of the faithful disciple are incinerated, and before his look the indescribable glory of the inner world of Soul and Spirit is revealed.
