example: ex nudist becomes tree

This is intelligence. The karmis, they are trying to enjoy life by increasing the duration of life. The modern scientists, they are trying that there will be no more death. They think like that foolishly, that by scientific methods the duration of life will be increased. Everyone is trying that. Nobody wants to become old. If you ask any old man, "What is your age?" he'll decrease it. He'll say... He is eighty years old, he'll say, "I am sixty years" or "sixty-five." That means he wants to live for long duration of life. That is the intention. Nobody wants to die. But still... They cannot do anything; still they are trying. One Marwari gentleman, at the age of seventy or eighty years old, he went to somewhere in Germany for undergoing surgical operation of the gland so that he can continue his sex life. Many monkeys are exported from India to Western countries for taking away the sexual glands, they know, hormone or something like, and replace it to man so that in old age they can enjoy sex. Perhaps you know all these things. So this attempt is going on, how to keep young and how to enjoy life. But nature will not allow. You may try your best. Nature's law is there. They forget that. And nature will not allow us to live here or to remain as young for all the years of life. It is not possible. But they're trying for that.    (More...)

Why they are mūḍhaḥ? Because they are sinful. Why they are sinful? Because naradhamaḥ, lowest of the mankind. Human form of life was given to him to become purified, but they are engaged in sinful activities so that next life they'll be cats and dogs and hogs and trees. Why trees? Trees stands naked. And now this nudie movement is there, how to remain naked. That means next life they are preparing for becoming tree: "Thousand years, stand up here, naked. Nobody will object." Yes, this is the law of nature. Prakrteḥ kriyamanani gunaiḥ karmani sarvasaḥ [Bg 3.27]. These rascals... Because the rascals, they do not know. And even the information is there, still, they'll not accept. This is their position.    (More...)

You stand up naked for ten thousand years. Satisfy your desire for being naked for ten thousand years." Why two years, three years, or five years, ten years? Remain naked. Human body is meant for covering, not to become naked. But if anyone develops the idea of becoming nudie, naked, "All right, next life you get tree. Stand up." The example is there, Yamala-Arjuna, They wanted to be naked. Narada gave him opportunity, "All right, you remain naked as trees."    (More...)

Raga means attachment, and vi means vigata. Vigata-raga. And from viraga-vairagya. Jnana-vairagya. This is wanted. Human life is meant for jnana and vairagya. Two things required. We are continuing this material existence on account of raga, attachment, attachment for sense gratification. That is the cause of material bondage. Material bondage means, we have explained several times, to accept one body then create another body. We have got now this human form of body, and according to our, I mean to say, affection or infection to different qualities of the nature, we are creating another body. So in this way we are entangled. So unless we become viraga, viraga aindriyat, sense gratification... These different changes of body are being possible on account of sense gratification. Nature, or God, or Krsna will give me full facility. Just like in the Western countries especially, they are now trying to become naked, nudies. So nature will give them to stand naked like a tree, or tree, for many years. "You are so fond of become nudie. All right, you stand up here for ten thousand years without any dress." Nature will give you. Those who have no discrimination for eating-"Anything, damn rascal, let me. Give me. I will eat it"-"All right, then you can take the body of a pig and eat up to stool."    (More...)

Prabhupada: Not particular body-particular desire. And according to the desire, Krsna is giving him facility through the material machine to give him a particular type of body. Just like one man is thinking of eating anything nonsense. So Krsna says that "You give him this body of hog. He can eat even stool." That's all. You want to be naked, nudie? So Krsna gives him, "So he is very much anxious to become nudie. Make him a tree. Stand up for five thousand years naked." This is going on.    (More...)

Prabhupada: ...and standing naked, that those who are fond of nudie-ism, they will get it next life: "All right, you stand naked for many years." This is the punishment. Human society, naked, that is their punishment.    (More...)

Prabhupada: There are many places. Hare Krsna. [break] ...is given for cultivating God consciousness, and they have become advanced civilized, they are cultivating nudie-ism. Is it not? Nudie-ism. So the punishment is that "All right, you become nudie. You remain standing in one place for five thousand years." [laughter] Yes. The trees live up to five thousand years, ten thousand. They live.    (More...)
