Prabhupāda: Soul is eternal, we admit.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: But only from that point, not in the past.
Prabhupāda: Not in the past?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Yes, because according to Biblical philosophy you only have one lifetime in this world.
Prabhupāda: Then? Who goes to heaven?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Persons who adopt the principles.
Prabhupāda: And if one life, then who goes to heaven and who goes to hell?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Very few go to heaven.
Prabhupāda: Anyone, if he goes to hell or heaven, then why do you say "one life"? Then another life. Otherwise what is the meaning of going to heaven or hell?
Hari-śauri: No. They get one chance to do good or bad, and then finish.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Hari-śauri: They get one chance: do good or bad. Then you either go to heaven or to hell. But you don't get another chance.
Prabhupāda: But if he goes heaven means there is another life. How do you say "one life"? This is defective philosophy.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: "But this is what God has said in the Bible; therefore we must accept."
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: "This is what God has said in the Bible; therefore we must accept."
Prabhupāda: God, if He says something unreasonable, how it can be accepted? You say "one life." Then who goes to the next life? That is defective. Why do you not talk back?
