Prabhupāda: Yes, everything is Kṛṣṇa's energy, but when it is not used for Kṛṣṇa's purpose, it is material. In the factory they manufacture things, but the products or the profit is enjoyed for the sense enjoyment. If we use for Kṛṣṇa's purpose, then it is spiritual.
Question (translated): (indistinct) . . . so he says we should not just be vegetarian, but also eat only fruit like he does.
Dhanañjaya: (explaining question) He says that he is a fruitarian. He does not eat vegetables. He says that to be good consciousness in spiritual life one must not eat any vegetables but only fruit.
Prabhupāda: Yes. I have already explained that anything which is not utilized for Kṛṣṇa, that is material. Either you are vegetarian or not vegetarian, it doesn't matter. If it is not utilized for Kṛṣṇa, that is material. Kṛṣṇa says, patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati (BG 9.26). So especially vegetarian, vegetable products, food grains, vegetables, milk, Kṛṣṇa says: "If somebody offers Me with love and devotion, then I accept them." Our proposal is that you take remnants of foodstuff taken by Kṛṣṇa. Therefore we offer this foodstuff from food grains, fruits, vegetable, milk, we offer to Kṛṣṇa, and you take the remnants of foodstuff. There is no question of vegetarian, nonvegetarian. Even nonvegetarian, he is eating sinful things, provided he is not offering to Kṛṣṇa. First of all, things must be offered to Kṛṣṇa, and then take it. It is prepared.
Question (translated): What does it mean, to use something in Kṛṣṇa's service? What is this process?
Dhanañjaya: How can you use something in Kṛṣṇa's service? What is the process for using things in Kṛṣṇa's service?
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa's service, as we know what is meant by service—you carry the order of some person. That is service. Master orders, and the servant carries out the order. This is service. Just like in the Bhagavad-gītā the master, Kṛṣṇa, orders Arjuna to fight. He was not willing to fight for his personal interest, but when Kṛṣṇa ordered him that "You must fight," he fought. That is service. We should dedicate our life to Kṛṣṇa, and whatever He says, we carry out. That is service. (aside:) That is sufficient?
Question (translated): (indistinct) . . . don't you think that all the other chantings, like in the Muslim religion and other religions, like the Buddhist religion and the Japanese religion, and also the Christian religion, their chantings, don't you think they are after all the same things as Hare Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: What is that?
Dhanañjaya: He said that all the other chantings, like in the Muslim religion, in the Buddhist religion and the Japanese religion, their chantings are all the same thing?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Chanting . . . we are recommending chanting of the holy name of God. If the Muslim or Japanese or the Christian, they have got the holy name of God, that is also as good.
Question: I would like to know if the teachings of Kṛṣṇa can be an assistance to a person, an individual, who is interested in healing on a mass basis in a singing voice, in musical vibrations.
Prabhupāda: Yes. For the mass of people, this chanting of holy name of God is very easy and very beneficial, for the mass of people. Mass of people do not understand very much philosophy. Therefore the easiest process of realization of God is to chant His holy names, and that will gradually cleanse the mind, and a man will be able to understand what is God.
Question: Then may I ask something else? (indistinct exchange between devotees and guest)
Prabhupāda: Your question and answer, she (the translator) will explain to the people. (translator translates)
Devotee: Next? Would you like to come?
Question (translated): He said that the body is the dress of the soul, so when the body dies, where the soul goes?
Dhanañjaya: He said that the body is the dress of the soul, so when the body falls off and dies, where does the soul go?
Prabhupāda: Just like you give up your one dress, you accept another dress; similarly, when this body, dress, is no more useful, you accept another dress. That you have got experience at night. You leave this body and you take another body, and you roam in dreamland. That is experienced, every day experienced. You give up this body, you accept another body, subtle body. So when this gross body is destroyed, the subtle body carries you to another gross body. That is called death.
Question (translated): Does the soul reincarnate?
Prabhupāda: Yes, the soul does not manipulate. It simply . . . just like you had your childhood body, boyhood body. Now you have got a body of young man, youthhood body. And again you will get an old man's body, just like I have got. So these bodies are changing. Here everyone can remember that, "I had a small body," but that body is not existing anymore. But I know that I possessed such body. Similarly, when this body will be finished, you will accept another body. You may forget it. Death means forgetting. But the body, changing of body is going on perpetually, and spiritual life means how to stop this change of body and remain in the spiritual body that is blissful and full of knowledge.
