Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

That is their foolishness. You were a child; that body is finished. So you have got a different body. But this simple truth they do not understand; that is their folly. (Hindi aside) If the body is finished, then why you were a child, you have become a young man? Body is finished, but not everything finished; everything is there.

Lokanātha: When body is finished, everything is finished, so why think of . . .

Prabhupāda: That is their foolishness. You were a child; that body is finished. So you have got a different body. But this simple truth they do not understand; that is their folly. (Hindi aside) If the body is finished, then why you were a child, you have become a young man? Body is finished, but not everything finished; everything is there. Only the body is finished. Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre (BG 2.20). This is explained. So when the body is finished, that does not mean that you are finished. You have to accept another body. That is real truth, and it is spoken by Kṛṣṇa, not any so-called scientist. The Supreme Person says, na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre. What do they say about this statement of Kṛṣṇa, na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre, that when your body is finished you are not finished?

Lokanātha: Well, they won't accept Kṛṣṇa either.

Prabhupāda: Then, how rascal they are.

Indian man: (indistinct) . . . you know there is soul.

Prabhupāda: Hah.

Indian man: Body is finished and ātmā is emerged. So, what . . . why the ātmā suffers next generation for the deeds done by the body in this life?

Prabhupāda: Because ātmā is continuation.
