<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture at Krsna Niketan -- Gorakhpur, February 16, 1971|Lecture at Krsna Niketan -- Gorakhpur, February 16, 1971]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Devotee (3): Prabhupāda, you said that at the time of death, if one is Kṛṣṇa conscious, he's given a spiritual body. Is the spiritual body... You said it has been created. Originally, we had a spiritual body, and then we fell under the...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I don't say created. It develops.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): Oh. It's the same one that was an eternal body.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. As the material body has developed for your material consciousness, similarly, spiritual body will develop for Kṛṣṇa consciousness.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): And it's the same spiritual body that we had before we came into the material world?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. You are one ten-thousandth part of the point. How this big body has developed? It has developed materially. Similarly, it will develop spiritually. What is the difficulty to understand? Is there any difficulty still?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You are one ten-thousandth part of a point, and you have developed a big body like elephant. (laughter) Or Brahmānanda Swami. (laughter) (chuckles) When he was getting fat, I was very much thinking that "This boy is getting fat." To get fatty is not very favorable for spiritual understanding. My Guru Mahārāja said. If you'll say some disciple is getting fat, he'll immediately say, "Oh, he is getting fat?" Yes. Spiritual life does not mean very fat. That is an impediment. That means materially he's becoming developed. (laughter) That's a fact. So we should not eat more to get fat. You should simply eat to keep yourself (chuckling) body and soul together. Not to get fatty. No. That's not good. Of course, we are not fatty.</p>
