751010 Conversation - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Durban
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| Prabhupāda: I remember, I was a boy and was jumping. And now I cannot do that, because I have got a different body. So I am conscious that I possessed a body like that. Now I do not possess. So the body is changing, but I am, the person, eternal. Very simple example. One requires little brain only, that I, the owner of the body, is eternal. The body is changing. Prof. Olivier: Hmm. Yeah, but now having accepted that, a further problem then arises: what are the implications? Prabhupāda: Yes, that, if we understand that I am not body. So at the present moment I am engaged only to keep my body in comfort. But I am not taking any care of myself. Just like I am cleansing the shirt and coat, thrice daily, uh, but I am hungry. No food for me, only washing material for my shirt and coat. And this basic civilization is wrong. |
