So according to your karma . . . and that is also explained in another place in Bhagavad-gītā. Why people are getting superior and inferior types of body? That is explained: kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya sad-asad-yoni-janmasu (BG 13.22). Sad-asad—good and bad, first class and third class. Sad-asad-janma-yonisu. Species of life they are getting. The reason is, kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya: because he's associating with different modes of nature.
There are three modes of nature—goodness, passion and ignorance. So if you associate with goodness, you get one type of body. If you associate with passion, you get another type of body. If you associate with ignorance, you get another type of body. This is law of nature, and the witness is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
So there is exactly everything in order. You cannot escape that. Daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā (BG 7.14). It is not possible to escape. This is karmavāda. But this karmavāda, just like one man is sentenced by the law to be hanged, nobody can save him, but still there is King's mercy; he can save you.
Indian man (2): (indistinct) . . . at least in the court of law he know what he does, what he is . . . (indistinct) . . . what kind of crime he has committed.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Indian man (2): But in the court of the Lord he does not know. He wants to know what kind of crime he has committed in the past so that he can purify himself . . .
Prabhupāda: Well, that . . . just like a child, when he's crawling, he touches a fire and he's burned. He forgets. But when he's grown-up, if he inquires from the parents, "Why this scar is in my hand?" the father reminds, "My dear child, you did like this." So because you have forgotten, that does not mean it did not take place. You have forgotten. You do not know what you were doing at this time yesterday. You are so forgetful.
So your remembering or forgetful doesn't matter. The law of nature must work severely. It doesn't matter whether you forget or you do not know the law. Forgetfulness of law is no excuse. You must suffer. Just like the child, when he touches the fire, the fire does not consider, "Oh, here is an innocent child, why shall I burn him?" He must be burned. That is law of karma. When you touch fire you must act and you must suffer. Without any judgment the law is already there.
Indian man (3): Swāmī, have you seen God? (laughter)
Prabhupāda: Do you know how to see?
Indian man (3): Yes. I can see you. But because He reveals Himself . . .
Prabhupāda: (chuckles) Yes, that I have already explained, that Adhokṣaja, God, cannot be seen by your these blunt senses, but when you develop pure senses, sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170). When our senses are nirmalam, without any designation, you can see God.
Indian man (3): So my question was, "Swāmījī, have you seen God?"
Prabhupāda: Now if I say yes, will you believe? (laughter from audience) Will you believe? So therefore you have to make purify your senses to see God, instead of asking anybody whether he has seen or not. I say anybody who has purified his senses, he can see God. Better asking me, you better see God. That is real. What you'll gain? Suppose if I say: "Yes" or "No," what you'll gain?
Indian man (4): Swāmījī, is there life after death?
Prabhupāda: Yes, that I've already explained, tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ (BG 2.13), the karmaṇā and everything. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. You do not read Bhagavad-gītā?
Indian man (4): Very regularly.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Indian man (4): Very regularly.
