So if a human being does not become inquisitive to understand what he is, in which way his progress should be made, then he remains a dog. The dog cannot do it. And we have got the capacity. If we neglect this facility and remain like a dog, simply engaged in eating, sleeping, sex and defense, then we remain dog. Then again we become dog.

Justin Murphy: Hmm, no.

Prabhupāda: So if a human being does not become inquisitive to understand what he is, in which way his progress should be made, then he remains a dog. The dog cannot do it. And we have got the capacity. If we neglect this facility and remain like a dog, simply engaged in eating, sleeping, sex and defense, then we remain dog. Then again we become dog. The opportunity was given to us to understand the problems of life, how to solve. If you don't take this opportunity, facility, if you simply remain like dog, then we are next life. . . That also they do not understand, that there is next life. Do you believe in a next life? You, a person, do you believe in a next life?

Justin Murphy: No, I don't.

Prabhupāda: You do not.

Justin Murphy: No.

Prabhupāda: Just see. Now . . .

Justin Murphy: So therefore I'm bad material. (break)

Prabhupāda: ". . . no, I don't believe it."

Justin Murphy: But I will become an old man anyway, in the course of my life.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So therefore there is future life. If you say: "I don't believe in it," . . .

Justin Murphy: Are you talking about reincarnation, life after death?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Reincarnation . . . you are already reincarnated. Where is your that childhood body? Where is that body?

Justin Murphy: Here it is. It's grown.
