What is your belief in eternal life, and how do you attain perfection to eternal life?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are like (?) material, and life is spiritual.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Eternal life.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eternal? Eternal life. We are all eternal. Just like you were a child or you were a baby. You were a boy; now you are a young man. Similarly, I was also. Now I am old man. But I remember that I had a small body, a little more grown-up body, little more grown. All those bodies are now gone, but I am remembering. Therefore I am eternal. With the change of the body or passing away of the body, I do not die. I am eternal. It is said in the Bhagavad-gītā, na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre ([[Vanisource:BG 2.20|BG 2.20]]). As there were so many changes and still I am existing, similarly, when this body will be finished, I will exist in another body. Therefore I am eternal.</p>
<p>Guest (4): What is your understanding of God? Is He something apart from us, or are we all together God? Do you know?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: What is your understanding of God? Is He apart from us or are we all together God?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, as you are apart from me, similarly, God is also apart from you. God is also an individual person as you are individual person, I am individual person, but the difference between God and you and me is this, that you know your business, I know my business. but God knows everyone's business. That is the difference.</p>
<p>Guest (4): (indistinct) ...man and God?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: What is the relationship between man and God?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Man is servant of God, and God is the Supreme. God is asamordhva. Nobody can be equal to Him, nobody can be greater than Him. This is our point.</p>
<p>Guest (5): Do you believe in reincarnation?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that?</p>
<p>Woman: Do you believe in reincarnation?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Why not? Just like I had my small body. Then I had greater body, another body, another body. So every moment there is incarnation, reincarnation, every moment. That is medical science opinion. We are changing our bodily condition, material condition, but I am existing. Therefore, as I have passed over my childhood body to be incarnated into boyhood body, from boyhood I have reincarnated in a youthhood body. From youthhood body I reincarnated my old body. Similarly, after leaving this body I must have to accept another body. That I have already explained. Just like we change our dresses. So soul is eternal; the body is not permanent, temporary, and there are 8,400,000's of different types of bodies. We are migrating or transmigrating from one to another. This business, if we want to stop... Because we are eternal, our aims and object should be to attain that eternal status. That we can attain by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is the movement. We are giving information to everyone that "If you want your eternal life, blissful life, life of knowledge, then you take to this movement, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and you'll have it."</p>
