The spirit is supposed to be stronger than matter. The spirit is superior than matter. So it seems that... Well, what happens when the body dies? Is the spirit forced to leave or does it leave on its own accord?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, it is by nature forced.</p>
<p>Madhudviṣa: But that is material.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Madhudviṣa: Isn't nature material?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, material nature, yes.</p>
<p>Madhudviṣa: So how is material forcing something spiritual?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You have voluntarily accept her supremacy. Just like you have accepted some disease. So disease is forcing you. And if you cure, then it will not be able to force you. You infect some disease. Then you become forced by the disease to accept the miseries. But if you are not diseased, there is no question of force. If you become criminal, the police forces you. And if you are not criminal you have no business with the police. It is like this. Police control, controller—the controlling power upon me comes when I am criminal. Otherwise why police will control me? Therefore I voluntarily accept the control of police by my criminal desires. That is going on. That is material life.</p>
