Why do you believe so much your rascal eyes? That is the answer. Do you think that your eyes are perfect? There are many types of seeing. Not that simply with glaring eyesight you can see.

Nara-Nārāyaṇa: I think people will argue that just because a child develops to a certain stage, what is the indication that he will develop after that stage? In other words, if I go from birth, youth, old age, then what is to say that I am again going to youth? They will say: "What is that logic? How I will go again to youth? Simply I will go again and vanish away," or something like that. They do not know . . .

Prabhupāda: No, that example is given. Just like this garment I am using. So when it becomes too old, torn or something, so I will throw it away—I take another. What is the difficulty? When this body I am growing or changing, whatever the Christians say, but when it is no more workable, I give it up; I take another. What is the difficulty?

Nara-Nārāyaṇa: The materialistic man will think, "Well, I am voluntarily giving up my clothing, but I'm involuntarily giving up my body." And the mode . . .

Prabhupāda: Voluntarily, involuntarily, that is another thing. Just like a child does not know that his coat is useless, but mother comes and changes the garment. Therefore it is changing. That's a fact. It doesn't matter whether you are changing voluntarily or involuntarily; that is not very important thing. You are changing. That's a fact. Yes?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What they will argue, perhaps, materialists may argue that, "We can see that Sarasvatī is changing from the time she was a little girl and now she is a little older, we have seen her both times, but at the time of death we have not seen the next body of anyone.

Prabhupāda: But why do you believe so much your rascal eyes? That is the answer. Do you think that your eyes are perfect? There are many types of seeing. Not that simply with glaring eyesight you can see. You can see what is Sarasvatī , you are seeing the body. What is Sarasvatī, do you know? So what you are seeing?

You are seeing the body. So what is the power of your seeing? There is another body, suka body, subtle body. Can you see the mind? But everyone has got mind. Can you see intelligence?

Devotee (1): If our seeing is imperfect, we can see the change of body but we cannot see change, the transmigration of the soul.

Prabhupāda: You cannot see anything. Your power of seeing is so limited that you cannot see anything. Therefore you have to see through Kṛṣṇa, through Bhagavad-gītā. You are seeing the sun just like a disc. But when you see through astronomy, then you will understand it is fourteen hundred thousand times bigger than this earth. So what is the power of your seeing? Why you are so much proud of seeing? This is nonsense.
