Brahmānanda: Is a person reborn in the same body?
Brahmānanda: Is a person reborn in the same body?


Prabhupāda: Yes, you are reborn every moment. You were like this child sometime. Is this body the same? You think your body is the same when you were a child like that, lying down on the lap of you mother? Is the same body?
Prabhupāda: Yes, you are reborn every moment. You were like this child sometime. Is this body the same? Do you think your body is the same when you were a child like that, lying down on the lap of you mother? Is the same body?


Bernard Manischewitz: No, my body is different from a child's body.

Bernard Manischewitz: Can it sometimes be perceptibly? Can a person...?
Bernard Manischewitz: Can it sometimes be perceptibly? Can a person . . .?


Prabhupāda: Perceptibly we can understand that the body is being changed so long you are within this body. Because if the person, the soul, is not in the body, the body does not change. Body changes so long the soul is there. And as soon as the soul goes out of the body, there is no more change. Is it not perceptible?

Bernard Manischewitz: If the soul goes out of the body...
Bernard Manischewitz: If the soul goes out of the body . . .


Prabhupāda: There is no more change. It remains the same. Same status. Why? That means so long the soul is there, changes take place.

Line 58: Line 82:
Bernard Manischewitz: I see. Thank you very much. I understand.
Bernard Manischewitz: I see. Thank you very much. I understand.


Prabhupāda: Yes, every intelligent man will understand this very simple thing, that so long as the body..., the soul is within the body, the body is changing. And as soon as this body... Just like you are old man, I am old man, the body is no more possible to be changed; somehow or other then I'll have to accept another body. That is called transmigration. The modern so-called scientists, philosophers, they do not understand this plain truth, and they are passing on as big scientists, big philosopher, misleading public.
