750212 Conversation - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Mexico

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Prabhupāda: Perfect knowledge is that what you say, that is correct forever. That is perfect. Just like man dies. If somebody says: "Man dies," it is perfect knowledge. It is correct forever.

Guest (5): Suppose he is reincarnated?

Prabhupāda: No, no, "dies" means the body dies. The soul does not die. Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre (BG 2.20). When the body annihilates . . . body becomes old. Just like this cloth. I am using it, but when it will be old, no more useful, then I throw it away. I get another dress. This body is like that. Soul is eternal. Na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācit. It does not die, it does not take birth. But because he is in material condition, therefore he has to change the material body, because no material thing is permanent. "
