Why I Love The Soul - Prabhupada 0520



740609 - Lecture SB 02.01.01 - Paris

As soon as this body there is no soul, it is kicked out, throw it away in the street. Nobody cares for it. Suppose a beautiful man and beautiful girl, dead bodies lying on the—who cares for it? But as so long the soul is there, "Oh, such a nice, beautiful . . . such a nice, beautiful boy, girl." The soul is important.

So actually, we do not love this body, because the same beautiful body's there. Why do you not care? Because soul is not . . . therefore I love the soul. This is the fact. This is ātmavit, ātma-tattva-vit. And why I love soul? Because I love Kṛṣṇa. Soul is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. So why I am so much fond of soul? Because it is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, ultimately, I love Kṛṣṇa. This is the conclusion.
