Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Just like we had experience . . . I think in the First World War none of you have seen, because you were all young men. And we were child. When the First World War was declared, we were all boys, schoolchildren. My age was at that time fourteen years old, in 1914, when there was fight declared between Germany and Belgium. So that was the First World War. Then Second World War was in 1939. That was also German and Englishmen, like that. But actually, this was also World War, this Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, because all the kings of the world, they joined either this party or that party.

Kṛṣṇa says that, "Myself, yourself and all others who have come here . . ." There were about sixty millions of people assembled in that fight. It was not a small fight. In India there was . . . of course, that was also great world, world war. Just like we had experience . . . I think in the First World War none of you have seen, because you were all young men. And we were child. When the First World War was declared, we were all boys, schoolchildren. My age was at that time fourteen years old, in 1914, when there was fight declared between Germany and Belgium. So that was the First World War. Then Second World War was in 1939. That was also German and Englishmen, like that. But actually, this was also World War, this Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, because all the kings of the world, they joined either this party or that party.

So there were a great assembly of all worldly kings. Now, Kṛṣṇa says that, "Either Myself, either yourself, or these persons who have assembled here, they are individual. They were individuals in the past, they are now individuals, and they will continue to be individual even after annihilation of this body." Now, how you'll adjust? There are two theories, that after liberation all these souls, they become one. Just like all drops of water, if you put into the sea, they become one entity: there is no distinction. And the Lord Kṛṣṇa says that "No, they keep their individuality. They do not mix."
