Cardinal Danielou: Yes. And I think that the vocation of each creature is the service of God, yes.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Cardinal Danielou: The service of God.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So when the living entity forgets this business, that is material life.

Cardinal Danielou: That is . . .?

Yogeśvara: (translates)

Cardinal Danielou: (agrees in French)

Prabhupāda: Therefore in this material world we find almost everyone has forgotten God.

Yogeśvara: (translates)

Cardinal Danielou: (agrees in French)

Prabhupāda: The conclusion is that this material world is created . . .

Cardinal Danielou: Created . . .

Prabhupāda: Created for the forgotten souls.

Yogeśvara: (translates)

Cardinal Danielou: Yes.

Prabhupāda: And here the business is to again revive them to God consciousness.

Yogeśvara: (translates)

Cardinal Danielou: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So the process of enlightening the living entities, especially the human being . . . because in the animal form of life, one cannot be enlightened. Neither the animal can understand what is God.

Cardinal Danielou: No, can't understand. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Prabhupāda: It is only the human being who can understand. If he's trained, then he can come to God consciousness.

Cardinal Danielou: Yes, yes, yes, yes. It is so.

Prabhupāda: So this creation is meant for the forgotten souls to give them a chance for reviving their God consciousness.

Yogeśvara: Is it clear?

Cardinal Danielou: Yes, it is clear. It is very, very clear. Very clear.

Prabhupāda: And for this business, sometimes God personally comes; sometimes He sends His representative, His son, or His devotee, His servant. This is going on. God wants that these forgotten souls should come back to home, back to Godhead.

Cardinal Danielou: Yes, return. Yes.

Prabhupāda: Therefore from His side, there is constant endeavor to revive their God consciousness.

Cardinal Danielou: Yes, God consciousness.

Prabhupāda: Now this God consciousness can be awakened in the human form of life, not in other form of life.

Cardinal Danielou: Not in the . . . (indistinct) . . . yes.

Prabhupāda: Maybe very rarely. But the human being . . .

(aside) Where is the water?

Yogeśvara: She said she was coming with it.

Prabhupāda: Ācchā. The human being has got the prerogative to awaken his dormant God consciousness.

Yogeśvara: (translates)

Cardinal Danielou: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So the best service to humanity is to awaken their God consciousness.

Cardinal Danielou: Yes, it is true, it is true.

Prabhupāda: Best service.

Cardinal Danielou: It is the necessity of internal conversion, yes, for human . . . human souls to return to God. But do you think that this . . . the personality of human soul is a personality of permanent? That is, we remain always distinct—not separate from God, but distinct of God?
