The yogic process is like that. But that is not the process of check, stopping death. You can delay death. That you can delay, so it's a hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years, or even more than that.


Prabhupāda: He'll have to die. Just like the bank balance, you have got one thousand dollars. You don't spend—the money is there. So yogic process is like that. That samādhi . . . it becomes samādhi, no breathing. That means you don't spend. You have got a limited breathing duration, and if you don't spend it, then you can live. That is yogic process: breathing control. They don't breathe. Suppose I am breathing ten thousand times daily. So if I don't breathe, that ten thousand rupees is in my stock as bank balance.

Śyāmasundara: (laughs) Yeah.

Prabhupāda: This is the point. But you cannot be immortal.

Devotee: I'm . . .?

Prabhupāda: The balance, it expend . . . what is called?

Brahmānanda: Expendable?

Devotee: Expendable.

Prabhupāda: Yes. But you don't expend—so much gain. Not that you can increase. Bank balance, you have got one thousand dollars. If you don't spend, it is always one thousand dollars.

Brahmānanda: What about interest? No interest?

Śyāmasundara: No interest.

Brahmānanda: No interest.

Prabhupāda: No interest. Checking account there is no interest. (laughter)

Śyāmasundara: Swiss account.

Prabhupāda: No interest. Not obligatory. (laughter) When it is bank book account, then it is . . .

Devotee: That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Brahmānanda: Automatic.

Prabhupāda: So the yogic process is like that. But that is not the process of check, stopping death. You can delay death. That you can delay, so it's a hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years, or even more than that. You can delay, but it is not that stoppage.

Śyāmasundara: But you have to spend something. Your heart has to beat.

Prabhupāda: No. Samādhi, I think heart goes on, breathing stops.
