<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- June 8, 1976, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- June 8, 1976, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Rāmeśvara: So the living entity who is in the lower body like insects or plants...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. They will come automatically to the human form of body, by promotion.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: And he passes through all the species?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: So he has no desire to fly, but still he passes through bird species.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, just like child is taken care of. Child does not know what he is doing, but the father, mother, taking care of.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: He's taken through stages.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So mother nature takes care to bring him again to the grown-up youthful life. Now you make your decision. So, if you don't make your decision, the knowledge is there, the books are there, if you don't make your decision, still you want to remain as cats and dogs, again begin.</p>
<p>Devotee: Do most humans go down to the animal species again after human life?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Do most human beings fall down into the animal species?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not necessarily. He can become a stool worm. (laughter)</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is the value for the living entity to automatically pass through all these different species? Does he get any knowledge?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: To, to finish his life of imprisonment.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: How is it benefiting him?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He's corrected. Benefit is he's corrected. After undergoing so many species of life, he is corrected and again he is brought to the human form of life, civilized form of life. Let him make his choice. If he again makes his choice, go down to become a stool worm. Go! That is nature's.... Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi-guṇa, according to qualities he has taken. Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā: ([[Vanisource:BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]]) the rascal, being proud, "Now I have got this life, civilized life. I can do whatever I like to. Ah, there is no God." Then God comes as death and puts you again to become a worm in stool. That's all.</p>
<p>Duryodhana-guru: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in the Seventh Canto you mention that there are certain species of human life for whom certain sinful activities they don't receive any reaction.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, uncivilized, they are like animals.</p>
<p>Duryodhana-guru: So they can perform, like, let's say for example, intoxication or meat-eating, and they won't receive any sinful reaction?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, oh, yes. No. Because they are uncivilized. And you claim to be civilized and you are killing animals? Must be responsible.</p>
