Svarūpa Dāmodara: I remember Śrīla Prabhupāda used this "acintya" to differentiate between the life and the non-living.
Prabhupāda: Acintya means living.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: No, acintya-śakti. Life, life has acintya...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Whereas non-life doesn't have.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Matter, just like a molecule doesn't have this acintya. But they may...
Prabhupāda: No, it has, but it is covered too much. Consciousness is covered. Potency, potent. It is potent.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Molecule has consciousness?
Prabhupāda: Yes, everything has consciousness, but it is covered. The degree is of covering.
