Prabhupāda: Reality, temporary reality, flickering reality. Otherwise, it is reality. And, in that respect, the whole thing is a dream. Anything material that is dream svapna-draṣṭur ivāñjasā it is just like dream (SB 2.9.1). It is stated in the Bhagavad. After all, we should remember that a dream is pertaining to this body. So far I am concerned, spirit soul I am reality I'm not dreaming at any stage.

Because I am the seer when I'm sleeping the dream in sleeping I'm seeing, I'm there. This dream this body or that body or any other body I am the seer so I am eternal and the dream is pertaining to this changing body. Or changing circumstances or the changing condition that is dream. So I being reality and eternal I will have to find out my eternal engagement. This dream engagement is temporary.

Therefore, if I'm intelligent enough then I'll have to find out my eternal engagement. That eternal engagement is Kṛṣṇa consciousness and to act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is eternal.
