Devotee: Prabhupada, you said that the spirit soul is one-ten-thousandths of

the tip of the hair. In the Spiritual Sky, is the spirit soul still just

that big?

 

Srila Prabhupada: That is his constitutional position. Either in the

Spiritual Sky or in the material sky, he's the same. But as you develop in

the material world, similarly, in the spiritual world you can develop a

spiritual body. Your position is that of a small particle, but spirit can

expand. This expansion in the material world is being done in the contact

with matter. And in the spiritual world that expansion can be done in

spirit. Here in the material, I'm different from this body, because this

body is matter, and I am living, I'm living force. But in the spiritual

world is everything living force. There is no dead matter. Therefore the

body is spiritual. Just like: water with water = water. But water and oil:

distinction. Similarly, I'm spirit soul, say oil, so I'm in the water, so

there is distinction. But if I'm put into the oil, then everything is all

right. So, the impersonalists, they do not develop body, they simply remain

as spirit particle, that's their idea. But we vaisnava, we want to serve

Krsna, therefore we require hands, legs and mouth and tongue, everything. So

we are given such body. As you are getting this body from the womb of the

mother, similarly we get body in the spiritual world. Not from the womb of

the mother, but there is process to get, you can get.
