Purāṇjana Becomes a Woman in the Next Life

This is confirmed in this way:  mamaivāmśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ . The word  sanātana  is found in several places in  Bhagavad-gītā . Both the Lord and the living entity are  sanātana  (eternal), and there is also a place known as  sanātana  beyond this material nature. The real residence of both the living entity and God is the domain of  sanātana , not this material world. The material world is the temporary external energy of the Lord, and the living entity is placed in this material world because he wanted to imitate the position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In this material world he tries to enjoy his senses to his best capacity. All the activities of the conditioned soul within this material world are perpetually taking place in different types of bodies, but when the living entity acquires developed consciousness, he should try to rectify his situation and again become a member of the spiritual world. The process by which one can return home, back to Godhead, is  bhakti-yoga , sometimes called  sanātana-dharma . Instead of accepting a temporary occupational duty based on the material body, one should take to the process of  sanātana-dharma , or  bhakti-yoga , so that he can put an end to this perpetual bondage in material bodies and once again return home, back to Godhead. As long as human society works on the basis of false material identification, all the so-called advancements of science and philosophy are simply useless. They only serve to mislead human society.  Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ . In the material world, the blind simply lead the blind.
