| Prabhupāda: (chants verse, etc)
| | In every life we create a different environment. In this life I may think I am Indian; you may think you are American. Or next life, a different position. Next life, I may not be American, or I may not be Indian. And if I . . . even I, I become American, I may not be a man; I may be a cow or bull. Then I am sent to the slaughterhouse. You see? This is going on. |

| | This is the problem. Always changing body. ''Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate'' ([[vanisource:BG 8.19 (1972)|BG 8.19]]). It is serious position. We should very . . . take this life very seriously, that "I'm changing my body life after life. I have no fixed position. I do not know where I am put within these 8,400,000 species of life.

| So this verse, you'll read what is important. "Such person must know in fact the greatest of all, who is unembodied, omniscient..." That is the distinction between God and ourself. We are embodied. This body is different from me; therefore when I leave this body, this body becomes "Dust thou art, dust thou..." That thou means this body. I am not dust. I am spirit soul. So Kṛṣṇa is not embodied. He has no difference between His body and His soul. His soul and body, the same. He does not change His body, because He hasn't got material body. And because He does not change body, He remembers everything. We change body; therefore we do not remember what had happened in our last birth. We have forgotten who was... Just like even in sleep, when we forget our body, we forget our all, I mean to say, environments. While sleeping or dreaming, you are in a dreamland. You don't remember even that you have got this body. Every day, every night, this is being experienced. Because this body, I'm not body. The body becomes tired. It sleeps or it is inactive. But as I am, I work, I dream, I go somewhere, I fly, or I go, I create another kingdom, another body, another environment. This we experience every day, every night. It is not difficult to understand. Similarly, in every life, we create a different environment. In this life I may think I am Indian. You may think you are American. Or next life, a different position. Next life, I may not be American, or I may not be Indian. And if I, even I, I become American, I may not be a man. I may be a cow or bull. Then I am sent to the slaughterhouse. You see? This is going on. This is the problem. Always changing bodies. Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate [[Vanisource:BG 8.19|BG 8.19]] . It is serious position. We should very..., take this life very seriously, that "I'm changing my body life after life. I have no fixed position. I do not know where I am put within these 8,400,000 species of life. So I must make a solution." And that solution is... Kṛṣṇa says, yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama [[Vanisource:BG 8.19|BG 8.19]] . Mām upetya kaunteya duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam, nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ: [[Vanisource:BG 8.19|BG 8.19]] "If anyone, some way or other, by developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he comes to Me, he hasn't got any more to go back and accept a material body." He gets the same body as Kṛṣṇa, sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ (BS 5.1) .
| | Kṛṣṇa says, ''yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama'' ([[vanisource:BG 15.6 (1972)|BG 15.6]]). ''Mām upetya kaunteya duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam'', ''nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ'' ([[vanisource:BG 8.15 (1972)|BG 8.15]]): "If anyone, some way or other, by developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he comes to Me, he hasn't got any more to go back and accept a material body." He gets the same body as Kṛṣṇa, ''sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ'' (Bs. 5.1). |

| So we should very seriously execute this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Without any deviation, very seriously. We should not be neglectful, that this is fashion or something imposed. No. This is the most important function. Human life is meant simply for developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has no other business. But unfortunately we have created so many engagements so that we forget Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is called māyā. This is called māyā. We are forgetting our real business. We are engaged in different, so many businesses. Misleaders. Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ [[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]] . The rascal, blind leaders are leading to hell. Te 'pīśa tantryām uru-dāmni-baddhāḥ. All of them are tied up by the stringent rules and regulations of the material nature. And they have become leader. They do not like any authority. This is called māyā. This is called māyā. They are being misled; still they are following that. This is called māyā. | | So we should very seriously execute this Kṛṣṇa consciousness—without any deviation, very seriously. We should not be neglectful, that this is a fashion or something imposed.

| So try, some way or other, you have come in contact with Kṛṣṇa. So catch Him very tightly. Mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te. If you catch very tightly Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, then māyā will not be able to do any harm.
