<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;">Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is the value for the living entity to automatically pass through all these different species? Does he get any knowledge?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: To, to finish his life of imprisonment.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: How is it benefiting him?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He's corrected. Benefit is he's corrected. After undergoing so many species of life, he is corrected and again he is brought to the human form of life, civilized form of life. Let him make his choice. If he again makes his choice, go down to become a stool worm. Go! That is nature's.... Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi-guṇa, according to qualities he has taken. Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā: ([[Vanisource:BG 3.27|BG 3.27]]) the rascal, being proud, "Now I have got this life, civilized life. I can do whatever I like to. Ah, there is no God." Then God comes as death and puts you again to become a worm in stool. That's all.</p>
<p>Duryodhana-guru: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in the Seventh Canto you mention that there are certain species of human life for whom certain sinful activities they don't receive any reaction.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, uncivilized, they are like animals.</p>
<p>Duryodhana-guru: So they can perform, like, let's say for example, intoxication or meat-eating, and they won't receive any sinful reaction?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, oh, yes. No. Because they are uncivilized. And you claim to be civilized and you are killing animals? Must be responsible.</p>
<p>Arcita: Śrīla Prabhupāda, those who come up from the animal species, do they automatically get a chance to contact Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or do they, might be born in low family, or...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, they get.... Just like we are opening centers, we are giving chance to everyone. If he takes opportunity, he can become realized.(indistinct) Kirāta-hūṇāndhra-pulinda-pulkaśā ([[Vanisource:SB 2.4.18|SB 2.4.18]]). That is the duty of devotees, to raise everyone to the sense of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But if one is unfortunate, he does not take the advantage.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: It's a question of fortune then, in the human form, to get that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Obstinacy. If you take the worm from the stool, aside, it will go again to the stool. You see? Again it will.</p>
<p>Bharadvāja: Śrīla Prabhupāda, there's still, within all the different species, there are still different varieties. What accounts for all these varieties?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Varieties of the body, according to the mentality.</p>
<p>Bharadvāja: According to karma?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, according to karma at the time of death, mind is saturated in that way, and he gets a body, that's all.</p>
<p>Mahendra: And then, after, say if a human being falls down into the animal species, after that, does he go through each and every one of these species successively? Even there are different types of dogs, he becomes each different type of dog?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, oh, yes. That is Darwin's gradual evolution.</p>
<p>Mahendra: Except this is evolution of consciousness, growing bigger.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Darwin has captured that portion, how the body is changing one after another.</p>
<p>Duryodhana-guru: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in Bhagavad-gītā it is said śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe yoga-bhraṣṭo 'bhijāyate ([[Vanisource:BG 6.41|BG 6.41]]). So, for somebody who is now a disciple of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, are we to understand if he is not born in a family of devotees and if he is not born in an aristocratic family, that he was not a yogi in his past life?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh? Past life, they had some good deeds. Therefore they have come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It is called ajñāta-sukṛti. Besides that, whatever he may be in the past life, the movement is there, it is open for everyone. Everyone can come and take advantage, despite whatever he did in his past life. It doesn't matter. If he comes and if he is fortunate, if he chants, then he becomes advanced.</p>
