| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes, ultimate aim is that there is spirit and matter. As there is material world, there is spiritual world also. Paras tasmāt tu bhāvaḥ anyaḥ avyaktaḥ avyaktāt sanātanaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 8.20|BG 8.20]]). The spiritual world is eternal. The material world is temporary. We are spirit soul. We are eternal. Therefore our business is to go back to the spiritual world, not that we remain in the material world and change body from bad to worse or worse to bad, er, good. That is not our business. That is a disease. Our healthy life is to enjoy eternal life. Yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama ([[Vanisource:BG 15.6|BG 15.6]]). So our human life should be utilized for attaining that perfectional stage—not to get any more this material body which we have to change. This is the aim of life.</p> | | <p>Prabhupāda: Yes, ultimate aim is that there is spirit and matter. As there is material world, there is spiritual world also.
