<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Conversation with Yadubara (after seeing film) -- April 17, 1977, Bombay|Conversation with Yadubara (after seeing film) -- April 17, 1977, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Nice. So how it is reacting amongst the public?</p>
<p>Yadubara: Well, the people seem to like it, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They will like it.</p>
<p>Yadubara: I was surprised, but the karmīs, their attention is held throughout the film. They seem to enjoy it very much. And several people have said that "It is very clear now that we're not the body."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It will be a great service if you can educate. Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke ([[Vanisource:SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). To keep them as animals is a great sin. Our Svarūpa Dāmodara has got this film?</p>
<p>Yadubara: No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not yet.</p>
<p>Yadubara: It just came out.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh. We can produce more detailed film later on.</p>
<p>Yadubara: You asked us to make that one point, that we're not the body.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Yadubara: In Māyāpura last year you asked me to make that one point, that we're not the body. So we tried to do that only.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's nice. That can be, and this..., done that.</p>
<p>Yadubara: Do you think there should be any sequel to this film? In other words, to carry on the philosophy?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, you have given the evolution of from fish to plant, plant to insect, bird, animal. That can be little elaborately, evolution. Then human being, full consciousness. Now, this is the chance for understanding God. And if they are still kept in darkness like the animals, that's a dangerous civilization. Refusing the opportunity to the humanity. By knowing this, you can get out of this continual evolutionary process. That is antimaterial world, Vaikuṇṭha world, where you can actually live. Na jāyate na mriyate vā. He does not take birth, neither dies, and dances with Kṛṣṇa. That is life. That we are wanting. We are seeking after. It is not possible here. Here you have to go through the evolutionary process again and again if you don't take the opportunity for going back to home, back to... Then it is your misfortune. So this civilization keeping people in their unfortunate condition. Mām aprāpya nivartante mṛtyu-saṁsāra-vartmani ([[Vanisource:BG 9.3 (1972)|BG 9.3]]). This is opportunity to understand God and go back to Him, but that opportunity is being refused. Therefore he is returning again to the same position of birth and death. From animal to man, from man to..., up and down. But dehāntara, that is very dangerous. Tathā dehāntara, you have to change your body. Stop this. If you are scientist, stop it. Continue as American forever. Why you cannot? Why you are so proud of your so-called scientific education? Then you are under control. You have constructed this skyscraper building. Live here forever. Why don't you live? Kicked out. In the same house can become a cockroach because you have got attachment. "All right. Live here as cockroach." Who can check it? Cockroach is also life. Dehāntara. The proprietor becomes cockroach. Can you check it? Nature will do. Now we are proprietor, next life a cockroach. "Live here in your skyscraper building." How much valuable time he has wasted by constructing this skyscraper building. He remains there in the photograph, and actually his life is in the commode. Cockroach. He is living in the commode, and his son's worshiping his photograph. This is... This is called ignorance. Very misleading civilization this is. So we are trying to save everyone from this misleading civilization. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. We are trying ourself to be perfect and trying to teach others perfect life. Kṛṣṇa begins His teaching from this understanding. "You are not this body." This is beginning of Bhagavad-gītā. And in the bodily concept of life where is spiritual knowledge? They talk of spiritual, that life is... First of all one has to understand that "I am not this body." Ahaṁ brahmāsmi. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. "Then if I am Brahman, then what is my value? So far I have led my bodily concept of life, but I am Brahman?" Then brahma-jijñāsā. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. How Brahman lives, how Brahman is produced, what is his real life. So I think this film will be useful for Svarūpa Dāmodara.</p>
<p>Yadubara: We would like to try to get it in the schools, in high schools and colleges.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. And ask them to read Bhagavad-gītā. They will get all information.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The movie should be given out with also a copy of Bhagavad-gītā along with it. To be a part of the film.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You can give in this course(?) Bhagavad-gītā, Sanskrit, dehino 'smin yathā dehe ([[Vanisource:BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]). Or the English translation. You have got that abridged edition?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, we don't have a copy of it here.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: How is that you don't have copy? Find out...</p>
<p>Yadubara: To show that on the film? At the end?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is best to impress them: "You read this book; you get all information."</p>
<p>Yadubara: It's a little bit difficult to change the film.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. That I am suggesting. If it is difficult, that is another thing. But this should be.</p>
<p>Yadubara: It should be there.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And actually, there is evidence.</p>
