Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

I spent all my energy in this piling of stone and wood in this life, and next life if I become a rat or cat in their house, then what is the profit? (laughter) And there is possibility. There is possibility, because after death you cannot say that, "I am going to be like this." That is under the hands of nature.

We do not know that these things will be finished today or tomorrow or hundred years after. It will be finished. And I am living soul, I am eternal, and I have been engaged in these material activities without knowing my progress of life, or without knowing my transmigration from . . . suppose I spent all my energy in this piling of stone and wood in this life, and next life if I become a rat or cat in their house, then what is the profit? (laughter)

And there is possibility. There is possibility, because after death you cannot say that, "I am going to be like this." That is under the hands of nature.

prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni
guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ
ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā
kartāham iti manyate
(BG 3.27)

Prakṛti will take charge of you immediately. As soon as you give up this body, immediately prakṛti will take charge. Take charge means the prakṛti will test what is the mentality at the time of your death, and he will give you a body like that, automatically. The nature's law is working so nicely, so perfectly, that everything is becoming manifest automatically. Just like fire . . . ah, flower. You see how beautiful flower, rose flower, is coming into existence automatically. Don't think there is no brain.
