<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Garden Conversation with Professors -- June 24, 1975, Los Angeles|Garden Conversation with Professors -- June 24, 1975, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Dr. Wolfe: Can one say that soul and life are identical?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Identical... Life is the symptom of the soul. Because the soul is there, therefore life is there. And as soon the soul is not there, there is no more life. There is sun in the sky, and the light is there, sunshine. When the sun is set, there is no more light; it is dark.</p>
<p>Dr. Pore: Is the body, then, to be resisted? Is the body to be disciplined, to be resisted, to be ignored? Is that what you're suggesting?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ignored?</p>
<p>Bahulāśva: How to treat the body?</p>
<p>Dr. Pore: How do you treat the body?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Make the best use of a bad bargain. (laughter) It is a bad bargain. But we have to utilize it.</p>
<p>Dr. Pore: When you say, then, that everything is a part of God you make an exception of the body, the body is not...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Devotee: No, he's saying that when we say everything is part of God the body is an exception. The body is not part of God?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, why? Body is also part. Yes, that I have explained.</p>
<p>Dr. Judah: māyā-śakti.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, it is another energy.</p>
<p>Dr. Pore: Oh, I see.</p>
<p>Dr. Judah: Inferior energy of Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Dr. Pore: Inferior energy.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everything is God's energy, so body is also God's energy. So best use of the body is God's energy should be utilized for God.</p>
<p>Dr. Pore: Hm. (end)</p>
