Dr. Wolfe: Śrīla Prabhupāda, the dhotī is not important then?
Prabhupāda: Not important. He can have dhotī, you can have pant, you can have . . . it doesn't matter.
Dr. Orr: It's part of the beauty of the world. It's interesting, it's fun, it's enjoyable, and I see no reason for denial.
Prabhupāda: There are so many thing enjoyable, but who is enjoying? That is the question. (Video 4 start) The real enjoyer and sufferer is the soul, not this body. When the soul is out of this body, the body is no more enjoyer or sufferer; it is a lump of matter. The sense of enjoyment and suffering is there so long the soul is there. Therefore the soul is important. And if you can study the soul, then you can understand what is God.
Peter: How you know there's a soul?
Prabhupāda: Because you are speaking. Because you are inquiring, I know the soul. Because you are soul, therefore you are inquiring. As soon as the soul is out of your body, you cannot inquire anymore. Inquiry finished.
