There is another element. What is that? Jīva-bhūtā. That is jīva-bhūtā. It is clearly explained. Why we should waste our time to find out how there is life, how it is working? Take instruction from Kṛṣṇa. Everything is given. And if you are intelligent, you’ll understand; then you can learn. But if you are over-intelligent then you will interpret in a different way, then you go to hell and other places. Don’t do that. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. Don’t interpret foolishly.

So we can argue, a good argument, logic, that you won’t find life by combination of these material elements. That is not possible. Therefore a sane man must consider that life does not belong to these eight elements. It is . . . (indistinct) . . . and that is explained in Bhagavad-gītā, apareyam. This is . . . (indistinct) . . . this is dead matter. There is no life. Apareyam itas tv viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parām ([[Vanisource:BG 7.5 (1972)|BG 7.5]]). There is another element. What is that? Jīva-bhūtā. That is jīva-bhūtā. It is clearly explained. Why we should waste our time to find out how there is life, how it is working? Take instruction from Kṛṣṇa. Everything is given. And if you are intelligent, you’ll understand; then you can learn. But if you are over-intelligent then you will interpret in a different way, then you go to hell and other places. Don’t do that. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. Don’t interpret foolishly.

So śāstra, śāstra-cakṣuṣaḥ. You should see through the śāstra. That is our advice. We don’t see with our imperfect aparatus. Eyes are imperfect. All our senses are imperfect. Either you see through microscope or telescope or any scope, there is no scope of seeing right. There is no. So this is explained. Therefore śāstra says, Vedānta says, śāstra-cakṣuṣaḥ. Paśyanti jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 15.9 (1972)|BG 15.9]]) in the Bhagavad-gītā. Paśyanti jñāna-cakṣuṣā: eyes should be enlightened by knowledge. That is real eyes. These blunt eyes is not eyes. Therefore guru is worshiped,

Just we are singing,

:guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete koriyā aikya,
:ār nā koriho mane āśā 
:(Śrī-guru-vandanā 2)

Do not try to foolishly search anything and waste your time. Hear from a bona fide spiritual master, and that is final knowledge. That is final knowledge.
