Paśu-ghna. Paśu means life, or living entity. Paśu-ghna. Ghna means killer. So unless one who is killing himself or killing this animal . . . Both are killing. The killing of the animal in the slaughterhouse, that is gross killing, and another killing is one who is killing himself without knowledge. That is also killing. He got this human form of life, but without sufficient knowledge he's killing himself. Mām aprāpya. He cannot understand God. That is killing himself. This human form of life was given to him by nature's way, that "Now you understand God." But he's wasting time by surfing in the water. You see? He got the chance of understanding God—he doesn't care for that. He's unnecessarily laboring whole day in the sea, so that he's developing a mentality at the time of, he'll think of swimming in the water, and the subtle body will carry him to the fish yoni.

The subtle body . . . the transmigration of the soul means when the gross body stops. The subtle body . . . just like . . . this is very easy to understand. Little brain is required. Just like when you sleep, your gross body is on the bed, but the subtle body takes you somewhere. So the transmigration of the soul takes place carried by the subtle body. And mukti means when there is no more working of the subtle body also. This death, this annihilation of this gross body, that is not mukti, because the subtle body will work, and subtle body will carry you to the next gross body. The soul will be carried by the subtle body and, according to its mentality, nature will put him into the semina of a certain father, and the father will inject the semina within which the soul is there, and then again, with the mixture of ovum and semen there will be formation, a pealike body, and the soul is there, and he'll develop. Then there will be nine holes, and hands and legs, and when the complete, comes out, again begin your chapter—either as cat, or as dog or as human being or as tree or as plant, as aquatics. There are so many, 8,400,000's. So subtle body's working. Nature's work is so fine that everything . . . just like this Yamadūta, immediately there, "Yes, we have come to take." Now if you become a criminal, if you come and take, one has to phone to the police that "Here is a thief, please come." He does not . . . nature's work is going on so nicely there is no necessity of phoning Yamadūta. They will come. (laughter) But this rascal civilization do not know this, how things are going on.
