There are so many editions of Bhagavad-gītā, perhaps you know? So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to request you to read this Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Do not try to comment upon it indigenally. Same way, therefore we are publishing Bhagavad-gītā as it is, without any imperfect comment. As it is. Just like Kṛṣṇa says here:
- dehino 'smin yathā dehe
- kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
- tathā dehāntaram-prāptir
- dhīras tatra na muhyati
- (BG 2.13)
The soul is within this body. He is transmigrating from one type of body to another. This is fact. If we ponder over it, we shall find it is fact. So we take it as it is. That is our method of knowledge. Very simple. We simplify the matter. Now if you want to research scientifically . . . actually they are researching, but they could not find, the medical science, they are . . . a dead man or a man who is going to die, he is given all kinds of injections, all kinds of gas, and taking all care. In spite of all that, everything, oh, the man is dead, finished.
Now ask them what is finished, they cannot say. They say: "Yes, we do not know what is finished." You cannot say that this blood has turned from redness to whiteness. Therefore it is known—you are scientifically advanced—you can turn the blood into red, eh? Not that. The redness is not life, because there are so many red naturals, just like a flower, a red flower, it is . . . is not living. It has no life. The redness, you cannot put this logic, that redness, red corpuscle is the source of life.
You cannot say that this dead body is there because some chemical is missing. That also you cannot say, because that chemical, if you say that there is chemical which is giving life, that chemical is already there, because after a few minutes you will find that as soon as the body is decomposed, many living entities are coming out. So the life-giving chemical is there. You cannot say that the chemical is wanting. Or if you say the chemical is wanting, then bring that chemical, put it into it, and make it alive. That is not possible.
