The Missing Part Is The Soul - Prabhupada 0940

680312 - Interview - San Francisco

Prabhupāda: Actual identity is that you are spirit soul, and this material body is your covering. Just like dress. Just like within dress, the real body is there. Similarly, we are within this material body. So we are taking more care for the dress and not for the body actually. But when a body is dead we can understand that there is something missing. That missing thing is the soul.

In the modern educational field there is no department of knowledge to understand that what is that missing part. There are so many theories, but they are not practical. Therefore we have to understand the soul and its constitution from authoritative scriptures like Bhagavad-gītā.

Then if we understand our identity actually.
