Now this is called . . . as we generally call, "God is almighty, all-powerful." Now here this all-powerfulness is explained that, ajo 'pi; "Although I have no birth; I am eternal." Similarly, the living entity, he has also no birth. This birth which we consider as birth, this is a birth of this body. I am also aja. Not that I was born at a certain time and I shall die at a such time. The birth and death which we have accepted, it is due to this body. But I am not this body. That point we have already discussed, that I am not this body.

So our birth and death calculation is on account of this body. Otherwise, we are as good as Kṛṣṇa. As Kṛṣṇa is aja—He never takes birth or never dies, there is no birth and death for Kṛṣṇa—similarly, we living entities, we have also no birth and death. We are also eternal. But why this birth and death? This birth and death due to my this material body. So as soon as we get our original, spiritual body and get out of the contamination of this material body, then we shall be as good as Kṛṣṇa. That is the whole process to understand.

So we have to . . . this Kṛṣṇa consciousness means that by the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness we shall revive our original, spiritual body. And when we revive our original, spiritual body, sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha . . . (Bs 5.1). Sat-cit-ānanda. That is the formation of Kṛṣṇa, and that is our formation also. Sat means eternal. Cit means full knowledge. Eternal, full knowledge and ānanda. Ānanda. Ānanda means bliss.

Now, we can make distinction from the spiritual body and the material body is this, that as the description of the spiritual body is given, sat-cit-ānanda, eternal, full of knowledge and blissful, so just the opposite number is this material body. It is neither sat, nor cit, nor ānanda. It is not sat. Sat means eternal. Now, this, this body is not eternal. Antavanta ime dehāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.18 (1972)|BG 2.18]]).

As we have already discussed, that this body is perishable, whereas the person who is occupying this body, he's imperishable. Imperishable. So this body's perishable. Therefore it is not sat. And it is . . . it is full of ignorance. Therefore it is not cit. And because full of ignorance and because it is temporary, therefore we have got miseries. Just like we are feeling too hot. Today the temperature is very high. Why we are feeling? Because due to this body. Mātrā-sparśās tu kaunteya śītoṣṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.14 (1972)|BG 2.14]]).

Similarly, in the month of December we shall feel severe cold. Why? Due to this body. Due to this . . . and as soon as we get spiritual body, we don't feel. We are unaffected by any material actions.
