[Pankaja_Dasa]

Lecture

Delhi, December 13, 1971

 

Prabhupäda: Yes, immediately. It is just like it is said that you forward one step, when you see that the forward step is right place, then you take the other step. Like this. When you find this is solid, then you take it away, then you put again. It is like that. So at the time of death, as soon as it is settled up that this soul should migrate to such and such body, by superior. It is not in my hands. Daiva-netreëa. Daiva-netreëa means superior examination. That is called day of judgement in the Bible. Whether this soul is going to hell or heaven, that is the day of judgement. But they have insufficient knowledge, therefore they think that all the souls after death they lie down for perpetually. It is not that. Actually the judgement is there immediately and he gets another birth, either hell or heaven. Not that he has to wait for the day of judgement. Immediately the day of judgement is... It is does not linger, it is not ordinary court that you have to wait for your judgement for three years or... No, immediately. Immediately it is settled up and the soul is transferred to the father and the... That is material process, how the body will grow. That is also arranged by prakåti, by nature, under the direction of the Supreme. Just like if you have to paint something, then you have to secure different colors, different... Similarly, the particular type of body the soul will get, how it is to be manufactured, that is also by superior intelligence. The soul is put into the semina of a particular type of father and that quality of the semina mixes with the mother’s secretion, then that grows. This is the arrangement. Sväbhäviki bala-kriyä ca. Sväbhäviké. We have to think how this body will be manufactured, but Kåñëa is so intelligent, His potencies are so great that simply He shall do it—“This soul should get such and such body”—immediately it is manufactured and comes out. This is Kåñëa’s intelligence. Paräsya çaktir vividhaiva çrüyate. You cannot manufacture this. But under Kåñëa’s direction there are certain energies which can immediately manufacture. But the rascals say, “Automatically it is coming.” Not automatically. There is brain, there is energy, there is discretion, there is judgement. There is all these things. Then it will come out with another body. Not blindly.

I think because there is no re-incarnation in Islam and Christinaity, that's why its this.
