Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to clear that covered sense, or this colored consciousness, or adulterated consciousness. Then everything will be there. You cannot kill consciousness. That is not possible. The Buddha philosophy is to stop consciousness, nirvāṇa. According to Buddha's philosophy, this consciousness is production by combination of this matter. This body is combination of matter: earth, water, fire, air, ether and, according to Bhagavad-gītā, further, mind, intelligence, ego. This is combination.

They are very finely analyzed by the sāṅkhya philosophy system, by Vedic system, into twenty-four elements. And according to some, twenty-five, and according to some, twenty-six. According to our Vaiṣṇava philosophy, twenty-six. According to Māyāvāda philosophy, this is twenty-five. And according to impersonal philosophy, or void philosophy, it is twenty-four. So originally, it is eight.

So in this way . . . Buddha philosophy means that this whole existence of our body or our self is the combination of matter. That is the way of thinking of modern scientists also, that this body is a combination of matter. Under Darwin's theory also, like that, "Organic matter, inorganic matter." They are studying evolution of this matter, organic matter. But actually that is not the fact.
