Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada Says - [Regarding how in your next birth you get the body you desire and deserve]
This is the disease. Ahankara-vimu dhatma kartaham iti manyate [Bg. 3.27]. The rascal, he is bewildered, vimuá¸hatma, on account of false egotism. Just like we are inviting everyone: Please come and learn Bhagavad-gita. "Huh! Bhagavad-gita, let us go the sea and swim." Surfer, surfer? They are taking so much trouble. I have not see here; in Hawaii. For hours together, struggling with waves. I've seen it South Africa also. Very fond of this surf sporting.
So they are wasting so much time and laboring so hard just to become fish. Yes, they are going to be fish. Because at the time of death they'll think of "How I am jumping in the water, surfing." That is natural. Sada tad-bhava-bhavitaḥ [Bg. 8.6]. Because he has constantly thought over his sporting, naturally he'll think of sporting in the water.
So this gross body when finished, his mental, intellectual and false ego will carry him to become a fish, and he'll have full freedom how fish is jumping within the water, going against the waves.
