1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

So body, the childhood body, the boyhood body, the youthhood body, they are no more existing, but I am existing. Therefore I am eternal, the body is temporary. This is the clue. Therefore the conclusion is that as I have changed so many body but still I am existing, therefore, when I shall change this body, I will exist. Now, I have transmigrated from babyhood body to childhood, childhood to boyhood, boyhood to youthhood. Similarly, I shall transmigrate to another body. A you . . . young man can say: "No, no, I don't believe in the old body," but that does not mean he will not get the old body. He will get it by laws of nature.

Hṛdayānanda: (translating) He's saying that with his psychology he cannot accept that there should be some clue, some key, that could permit him to accept it.

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. That psychology is perfect where there is clue. Otherwise you will speculate all your life.

Professor: (Spanish)

Hṛdayānanda: (translating) Then he's asking, he's humbly asking you to give him a little bit of the clue.

Prabhupāda: Yes, just like . . . it is very commonsense clue. Kṛṣṇa says the proprietor of the body is within the body. Now, you were a child, so at in your child body, you are present there, and in your boyhood body, you are present there. In your youthhood body, you are present there. Now you are middle-aged, you are there. I am old man, I am there. So body, the childhood body, the boyhood body, the youthhood body, they are no more existing, but I am existing. Therefore I am eternal, the body is temporary. This is the clue. Therefore the conclusion is that as I have changed so many body but still I am existing, therefore, when I shall change this body, I will exist. Now, I have transmigrated from babyhood body to childhood, childhood to boyhood, boyhood to youthhood. Similarly, I shall transmigrate to another body. A you . . . young man can say: "No, no, I don't believe in the old body," but that does not mean he will not get the old body. He will get it by laws of nature. That's compulsory. Similarly, if somebody says: "I don't believe in the next life," that does not mean he is authority. Nature will give him. Nature will not agree or obey the imperfect person. The same example, if the young man says: "I don't want old body," nature will not hear him. Nature will give him, force him, "You must accept old body." Everyone does not want to die, but nature puts it forcibly, "Yes, you must die." So after all, we are perfectly under the control of superior authority. We cannot become independent, and our independent thoughts has no value.
