Prabhupāda: This is the auspicious day of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī . . . Hundred fourth?
Pradyumna: Third.
Prabhupāda: Third. Hundred and third birth anniversary. So this is formal—hundred and third or fourth or first or second. It is eternal. It is eternal. Just like Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has described, nitya-līlā. Nitya-līlā means it is going on. Just like just now it is eleven o'clock. This eleven o'clock, and when it becomes twelve o'clock noon, it does not mean that eleven o'clock is passed. Eleven o'clock is existing somewhere. In India it is eleven o'clock, and somewhere else it is ten o'clock, and when in India it will be twelve o'clock, that eleven o'clock will be somewhere else. Therefore one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, whatever you take, that is going on. It is not that one is finished. That is material calculation. Material calculation - this body we have got. When this body will be finished, it is finished forever. It will never come. Tathā dehāntara-prāptir (BG 2.13). But in the spiritual world there is no such thing as finished. Nitya-līlā. Nitya-mukta. We have to understand that. In the material world, one minute's lost, it is lost forever. Cāṇakya Paṇḍita has given us instruction from the material point of view:
- āyuṣaḥ kṣaṇa eko 'pi
- na labhyaḥ svarṇa-koṭibhiḥ
- sacen nirārthakaṁ nītaḥ
- kā ca hānis tato 'dhikaḥ
- (Cāṇakya Paṇḍita śloka 34)
Āyuṣaḥ kṣaṇa eko 'pi. Suppose I shall live fifty years or a hundred years maximum. So out of them, one moment lost, it will be never returned.
