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."
