# The spiritual body *The living entity, being an eternal spiritual soul, has an eternal spiritual form suitable for serving Krishna. This spiritual body (siddha-deha) is revealed through the practice of devotional service and is the basis for one's eternal relationship with the Lord. Unlike the temporary material body, the spiritual body is full of knowledge, bliss, and eternality (sat-cit-ananda). It is free from all material contamination.* ## The Soul Has an Eternal Form ![[bg/2/12]] ![[bg/2/20]] ## The Spiritual Body Is Different from the Material ![[sb/3/15/14]] ![[sb/4/12/26]] ## Characteristics of the Spiritual Body ![[sb/3/15/15]] ![[sb/4/9/17]] ## The Soul's Identity with and Difference from the Body ![[sb/2/10/6]] ![[bg/13/20]] ## Attaining the Spiritual Body ![[bg/8/5]] ![[bg/4/9]] ## The Lord's Spiritual Form ![[bg/4/6]] ![[sb/3/9/3]] ## From the Index - [[index/entries/soul|Soul]] — The eternal spiritual entity - [[index/entries/spiritual-body|Spiritual Body]] — The eternal form - [[index/entries/sat-cit-ananda|Sat-cit-ananda]] — Eternity, knowledge, bliss - [[index/entries/transmigration|Transmigration]] — How the soul changes bodies
