Mahāmṣa: What about the analogy that many rivers flow into the same sea and lose their individuality?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Mahāmṣa: Their example is that many rivers, they flow into one sea, and then they lose their individuality.
Prabhupāda: Because they are short-sighted, blind, that there are many individual living entities within the river. But they are blind. They cannot see them. Because it is covered by water they see only the water is there. Because they are blind rascals, they cannot see. But if they go deep into the water they will see there are so many individuals, millions, and they are living in the same river.
Harikeśa: But there's no difference between the individual living entity and the total...
Prabhupāda: Yes, there is no difference. Still, that is.... That is acintya-bheda... That is individuality and no individuality. So long they are living there within the river, there is no individuality.
