Spiritual Knowledge Goes Beyond Death - Prabhupada 0845

670104 - Lecture BG 10.04 - New York

Material knowledge, any subject matter you can take, but that is temporary. Just like this body is temporary, similarly, any material knowledge you acquire, either you become a chemist or physicist or a medical man or an engineer, whatever you may acquire knowledge, all this knowledge will finish as soon as this body is finished. You forget. Death means forgetfulness.

Because the spirit does not die—eternal—so spiritual knowledge continues. If you develop spiritual knowledge . . . suppose cent percent spiritual knowledge you acquire in this body. Then that will continue with you. Even after destruction of this body that spiritual knowledge will continue with you, and when you get next body, you begin . . . you finished your ten percent, you will begin again from eleven percent.
