<div class="heading">Spiritually, when you get your spiritual body, there is no such material inconveniences. The material inconveniences means so long you have got this material body, you are subjected to birth, death, old age and disease. When you revive your spiritual body, these four things are not with you. No more birth, no more death, no more disease, no more old age. This is the difference between spiritual life and material life.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation with Father Tanner and other guests -- July 11, 1973, London|Room Conversation with Father Tanner and other guests -- July 11, 1973, London]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Father Tanner: No, I would say an elephant can be healthy, my body can be healthy.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, that is temporary. Everyone is subjected to death. So you may be very strong, healthy, but you cannot avoid death.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: No, but then, then...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So, so therefore, ultimately, you become so-called healthy or not healthy, you'll die. That is the fact. So we do not want that kind of healthy life. Our proposition is that we go back to home back to Godhead and remain with God, eternally enjoying blissful life. This is our healthy life.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: I, I accept these principles, but, you know, the words, I would say you could be healthy, but, you know, when you go to God at the end, this isn't on your physical healthiness.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: This is on your spiritual self.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: When you go to God, you go in your spiritual body.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Spiritual body. So...</p>
<p>Father Tanner: But you can be physically healthy...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Spiritually, when you get your spiritual body, there is no such material inconveniences. The material inconveniences means so long you have got this material body, you are subjected to birth, death, old age and disease. When you revive your spiritual body, these four things are not with you. No more birth, no more death, no more disease, no more old age. This is the difference between spiritual life and material life.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: Yes, I mean, this, I think, anyone who's in any sense spiritual or religious or ethical would admit because the spiritual body has no parts. So it cannot start to be or cease to be and cannot change within his own entity.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, the spiritual body is there already. Just like you have got your body. The coat is made according to your body. You existed first. Your coat was made later on. Similarly, spiritually, we exist eternally. Now, according to our different types of activities, we get a body, material body. There are eight million, four hundred thousand different forms of bodies. So the spirit soul is transmigrating according to his desire and work to different types of body. This is called transmigration of the soul. ...</p>
<p>Father Tanner: You would hold that the spirit is eternal...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: ...in the sense that in the beginning all spirits were contained within the Deity,...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: ...and at the end all spirits will refind themselves in the Deity.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: What...? Would you ever admit that a spirit could fail after his last chance...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That misuse of little independence. That I have already told. He has got little independence. So so long he's engaged in the service of the Lord, he remains in a spiritual body along with the Lord.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: No, I'm saying is it possible for any spirit not ultimately, after his various transmigrations through bodies, is it possible for any spirit never to regain contact with the Lord?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. If he comes in contact with a servant of God, then he revives his old consciousness, original consciousness.</p>
<p>Devotee: Prabhupāda, what he was saying was is it possible for a spirit soul never to regain the state of God consciousness.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, why never? He has got chance. When he comes in contact with a servant of the Lord, he revives his Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Then he begins his spiritual life. So how can you say...?</p>
<p>Father Tanner: But is it possible... You know, the world one day will end, and physical bodies will end...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, that is not possible.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: The world will not end?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: World will end. Yes.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: Yes. Now, I'm saying, when this time comes when all physical things end, will any of the spirits fail to reunite with the Godhead?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Now, when, as soon as he likes to reunite. That is... That depends on his liking and not liking.</p>
<p>Father Tanner: Hm. But would you admit that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no... You are talking of mechanically. But I am talking of that little independence. As soon as the living entity desires to unite with the Supreme Lord, he can become.</p>
