<p>Guest (2) (girl): (indistinct)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, you can sit down here. Take this pad, comfortable seat.</p>
<p>Guest (2): I know that our bodies are not eternal, and we have to leave them, and some are made male bodies and some are made female bodies. But our spirits, our souls, are there any difference?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. As spirit soul there is no difference. Bodily difference is material.</p>
<p>Guest (2): Why is there a bodily difference?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because you desired a body like that. God is so kind, Kṛṣṇa is so kind, whatever you desire, He fulfills. So this fulfillment requires a certain condition. So the body is conditional.</p>
<p>Guest (2): I don't know enough to ask you any questions, but I'm very happy to be here.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is very difficult to understand?</p>
<p>Guest (2): No, no.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: She says she doesn't know enough to ask you any more questions but she's very happy to talk with you.</p>
<p>Guest (2): I think the devotees inspiring me a little. (end)</p>
