681108 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Los Angeles

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Here we see spirit, consciousness, different stages of development. That makes different status of life. And that different status of life are varieties, 8,400,000 developing. Developing means different kinds of body. Just like this child. Now this child has got a certain type of body. The consciousness is according to that body. This child, when she will be grown-up as a young girl, her consciousness will be different—the same child. So the spirit soul is encaged by this material body, and according to the body, the consciousness is different. It is very simple to understand. Take example of this child. The same child, same spirit soul, because it is now dwelling in a different type of body, its consciousness is different than the mother’s, because the mother has got a different type of body and the child has got a different type of body."
