Cardinal Danielou: Yes. And I think that the vocation of each creature is the service of God, yes.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Cardinal Danielou: The service of God.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So when the living entity forgets this business, that is material life.
Cardinal Danielou: That is . . .?
Yogeśvara: (translates)
Cardinal Danielou: (agrees in French)
Prabhupāda: Therefore in this material world we find almost everyone has forgotten God.
Yogeśvara: (translates)
Cardinal Danielou: (agrees in French)
Prabhupāda: The conclusion is that this material world is created . . .
Cardinal Danielou: Created . . .
Prabhupāda: Created for the forgotten souls.
Yogeśvara: (translates)
Cardinal Danielou: Yes.
Prabhupāda: And here the business is to again revive them to God consciousness.
Yogeśvara: (translates)
Cardinal Danielou: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So the process of enlightening the living entities, especially the human being . . . because in the animal form of life, one cannot be enlightened. Neither the animal can understand what is God.
Cardinal Danielou: No, can't understand. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Prabhupāda: It is only the human being who can understand. If he's trained, then he can come to God consciousness.
Cardinal Danielou: Yes, yes, yes, yes. It is so.
Prabhupāda: So this creation is meant for the forgotten souls to give them a chance for reviving their God consciousness.
Yogeśvara: Is it clear?
Cardinal Danielou: Yes, it is clear. It is very, very clear. Very clear.

Cardinal Danielou: Yes, return. Yes.
Prabhupāda: Therefore from His side, there is constant endeavor to revive their God consciousness.
Cardinal Danielou: Yes, God consciousness.
Prabhupāda: Now this God consciousness can be awakened in the human form of life, not in other form of life.
Cardinal Danielou: Not in the . . . (indistinct) . . . yes.
Prabhupāda: Maybe very rarely. But the human being . . .

Yogeśvara: (translates)
Cardinal Danielou: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So the best service to humanity is to awaken their God consciousness.
Cardinal Danielou: Yes, it is true, it is true.
Prabhupāda: Best service.
Cardinal Danielou: It is the necessity of internal conversion, yes, for human . . . human souls to return to God. But do you think that this . . . the personality of human soul is a personality of permanent? That is, we remain always distinct—not separate from God, but distinct of God?
