<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- June 8, 1976, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- June 8, 1976, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Rādhāvallabha: So are they coming from eggs, or how are they coming? Just the soul enters the dirt?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Just like it is a suitable circumstance from which the living entity makes his body.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: But how has the cockroach been formed?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just like embryo. The living entity comes of the two secretions of father and mother emulsified. It creates a situation so that he can stay there and develop a body.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: But it requires some emanation from a cockroach body in order to create another cockroach body. So how can a cockroach body be created from vapors without contact of another cockroach?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Vapor does not create. The individual soul comes there according to his karma and, in that condition, he develops his body. Karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa jantur dehopapattaye ([[Vanisource:SB 3.31.1|SB 3.31.1]]).</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: So the seed of.... The soul is within the vapor?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The seed, when it is put into the earth, a situation is created so the soul can develop into a tree.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: But how would the soul develop a particular body...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is Yamarāja is.... We are reading the Yamarāja incident(?). That's all.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Just like how can a living entity take birth in the fire?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hmm?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The argument is that how can an entity take birth in perspiration? His question. So how can a living entity take birth in the fire? Mostly our experience is that entities are taking birth from the earth, but according to the understanding...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So how the fishes are born in the water? How the other living entities, they remain in the air? Or without air? There are five elements: earth, water, fire, air.... Anywhere, the living entities can take birth. Sarva-ga. Sthāṇur sarva-gataḥ acalo 'yam. You read all these words of Bhagavad-gītā. Sarva-ga. From anywhere, he can take birth.</p>
<p>Devotee: Do the living entities who are born from perspiration require a mother and father?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. No. There is mother. That perspiration is mother.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: So the reason why they get a particular body...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And the father is God.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: So they are just getting a particular body just due to Yamarāja.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, according to the decision of the Yamarāja, he has to get a particular type of body.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: The scientists don't know this.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: It's very confusing, Prabhupāda.</p>
