Karandhara.  But in a dead body there is no personality..
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  This indicates that the individual soul has left that body. The soul has left, and therefore the tree does not grow.
Dr. Singh.  Within the living body, Śrīla Prabhupāda, there are innumerable small living entities, but the individual self who owns the body is also living there. Is that correct?
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  Yes. In my body there are millions of living entities. In my intestines there are many worms. If they become strong, then whatever I eat, they eat, and I derive no benefit from the food. Therefore those who are full of hookworms eat very much but do not grow. They become lean and thin, and they are very hungry, because these small living entities are eating their food. So there are thousands and millions of living entities in my body-they are individuals, and I am an individual-but I am the proprietor of the body, just as I may be the proprietor of a garden in which many millions of living entities reside.
Student.  So if I eat  krṣṇa-prasāda  [food offered to Lord Krṣṇa], are the living entities in my body also eating  prasāda ?
Śrīla Prabhupāda . Yes. You are very benevolent. [Laughs.] You take  kṛṣṇa-prasāda  for others.
Karandhara.  Welfare work..
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  Yes, but there are so many things within you for them to eat that you do not need to make a separate endeavor to feed them.
Minimum Words, Maximum Solution
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  The individual soul is never lost. He does not die, nor is he born. He simply changes from one body to another, just as one changes garments. This is perfect science.
Dr. Singh.  But why don't scientists accept this?
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  They are not nice men. They are rascals. They are not even gentlemen. Under appropriate circumstances, gentlemen will have some shyness or some shame. But these men are shameless. They cannot properly answer our challenges, yet they shamelessly claim that they are scientists and that they will create life. They are not even gentlemen. At least  I  regard them like that. A gentleman will be ashamed to speak nonsense.
Dr. Singh , They do not think before they speak.
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  That means that they are not human beings. A human being thinks twice before saying anything. Kṛṣṇa makes the presence of life within the body so easy to understand. He says:
dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati
["As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change." (Bg. 2.13)] In these two lines, Kṛṣṇa solves the whole biological problem. That is knowledge. Minimum words, maximum solution. Volumes of books expounding nonsense have no meaning. Materialistic scientists are like croaking frogs:  ka-ka-ka, ka-ka-ka.  [Śrīla
