| "You cannot say that, "I want this kind of body." God is not your order supplier. You'll get. Either you ask for it or don't ask for it, you, according to your karma, you'll have a next body, karmaṇā daiva . . . by the superior arrangement. If you work in this life like god, you'll get next life a god's body. And if you work in this life as a dog, then you get next the life as a dog. That is not in your hands. Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ (BG 3.27). Guṇaiḥ, according to your qualities, as you will work, and prakṛti, nature, will give you a similar body."
