    As spirit souls,
    we do not take birth,
    nor do we die.
    We are not finished with the
    destruction of the material body.
    The destruction of
    the body is going on already.
    The childhood body changes
    to the youthful body,
    and that body changes
    to the present body,
    and the present body
    will change to another body.
    When the soul transmigrates,
    the gross body is destroyed.
    The gross body is made of matter,
    and will be destroyed eventually.
    The spirit soul,
    in contacting various
    modes of material nature,
    and being influenced by them,
    develops another gross body.
    In other words,
    we have acquired our present body
    because of our past activities.

    If we simply try
    to understand Krsna,
    we can go to Him
    at the time of death.
    Everything about Krsna
    is divine, transcendental.
    Krsna`s activities,
    Krsna`s appearance,
    Krsna`s worship
    Krsna`s temple,
    Krsna`s glories -
    everything is transcendental.
    Then we become liberated
    from the process of birth and death.
    We have to be serious
    about understanding Krsna
    and remain in Krsna consciousness.
    Then these problems -
    birth, death,
    old age and disease -
    will be solved automatically,
    verily easily.
