at every moment

Brahmananda: The body is compared to a machine.    (More...)

Prabhupada: Not... It is machine, not compared. It is machine. Actually it is machine.    (More...)

Brahmananda: But then it cannot grow, because a machine does not grow.    (More...)

Ambarisa: So it is changing every second.    (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes. Just like this is a car, machine, but if I want a bigger car, that means another car, not this car is growing. Suppose sometimes you get baby car. That is not sufficient; I want big car. So you cannot say that increase the baby car and it becomes a sedan car. That means you require another, big car. A child, a child cannot have sex in that body. The same child, when he wants to enjoy sex, he must have another body. So these rascals, they cannot understand how different machines has been supplied by nature. It is supplying.    (More...)

Prabhupada: As soon as you want another machine, immediately it is... Svabhaviki bala-kriya ca. Parasya saktir vividhaiva [Svetasvatara Upanisad 6.8]. His potencies, His merit, is acting. Not His merit; means the nature's merit, prakrteḥ kriyamanani [Bg 3.27], it is working so swiftly, you cannot see. The same example as I give always, that the movies spool, each is a different picture, but when it is put into the projector, you cannot understand. But actually on the background there are different pictures. So if ordinary, I mean to say, cinematograph, cinema picture, we can make like that, how much nicely and subtle machine is there, it is being done-that you do not know. But each body, each second, you are being supplied a different body.    (More...)

Brahmananda: Like each of the different frames.    (More...)

Brahmananda: On the film, each frame is different.    (More...)

Brahmananda: Each picture. But what appears to be a complete...    (More...)

Prabhupada: So in one picture you will find hand is here, another picture hand is here, another hand is here. But when they are taken together, it means the hand moves. The example is there. Each picture is a different picture. As soon as you stop it, the hand is here. That's all.    (More...)

Ambarisa: So each second the body is a little different?    (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes. Each second the body is different. But what this rascal will do? How they will know? They have no brain. All dull-headed materialistic, mūḍha. They cannot understand this. But this is the process going on. I want, for certain thing, I want a different body. Immediately nature supplies.    (More...)

Yadubara: Even within this body?    (More...)

Ambarisa: The scientists say that every seven years the body...    (More...)

Prabhupada: Not seven years. A medical man says every moment the blood corpuscles are changing.    (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes. New blood cells are coming into being. So you cannot say machine growing. That is fallacious. A machine, new machine.    (More...)

Prabhupada: As soon as I want a smaller car... Not smaller car; I want bigger car. Smaller car also-that is change. Whatever you deserve. You desire; at the same time, you deserve. First deserve, then desire. Just like these rascals, "I desire to become God." That kind of desire will never be fulfilled.    (More...)
