Yes. Since Srila Prabhupada explicitly did not say that

"the living entity" in this pervious sentence and "the living

entity" in his very next sentence are not the same "the living

entity", thus Vijay is not speculator when he claims "It is not

the same living entity".

The really big speculators never speculate. They get it all

from OED. Evidently and scientifically.

 

You know, it is not explicitly said that *any* "living

entity" spelled out in that purport is the same, nor that

it is not the same one. Just "the living entity". Consistently,

Through out the same purport.

I perhaps haven't been clear enough.

 

I am comfortable with both positions regarding the fall of jiva,

since I find the evidence for both. But what makes me to get

"turned off" is the fanatic approach of interpreting *any* purport,

*any* statement on exclusively one way. This is exactly what you

have done here. You are not interested in purport itself. You are

only interested how to exercise your skills to brake the words

of that purport into "atoms" and then to put the "atoms" back to

mean that what you have a priory decided to must mean, and to not

mean that what you have a priory decided to must not mean. Sense

gratification. That's all. Enjoy yourself. But your skill to

gratify yourself seam to not be impressing anybody particularly.
