We are creating this body according to our work. We are creating sometimes this human body; sometimes we are creating dog’s body; sometimes we are creating hog’s body; sometimes we are creating demigod’s body.

Prabhupāda: So this movement, Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, is the greatest boon for the human society, and we request everyone to take advantage of this movement. And the process is very easy: simply chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. And these boys and girls who have taken to this movement, you can discuss with them, or you can discuss with me. Of course, the more you practice you will understand, because unless the heart is cleansed . . . it takes some time. Anything, any education, any schooling, it takes a little time to understand. So . . . but it does not take very much, a great deal of time. It is very easily understood, because Kṛṣṇa, or God, is also situated within your heart. If you sincerely want association of God, He is already there with you as a friend. Just like in a tree two birds are sitting—these are Vedic information—two birds are sitting in one tree, in friendly terms.

Similarly, bird . . . or Kṛṣṇa and yourself are just like two birds, and both of you are sitting in this tree of body. The one bird, the jīva soul, or the part-and-parcel individual soul, he is eating the fruit of this body, the fruit of the tree. This body means . . . what is called? "As you sow, so you . . ."

Govinda dāsī: So you reap.

Prabhupāda: ". . . so you reap." So we are creating this body according to our work. We are creating sometimes this human body; sometimes we are creating dog’s body; sometimes we are creating hog’s body; sometimes we are creating demigod’s body.

So just like we cultivate so many trees and plants, similarly we are creating . . . you have got, all of us who are sitting here, we have got different types of body. That means we are all individual souls. We have created these different types of body, and . . .

. . . according to the body, just like according to the tree there is fruit, so similarly, according to this body there is fruit. Just like the hog—the hog has developed a certain type of tree, and he is eating the fruit.
