Indian man (2): Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is the responsibility of some person towards the father who has given the material body to him?
Prabhupāda: Oh, don't try to understand in a minute. You read all these books. But attentively, if the child has form, the father must have form. There is no doubt of it. And what is that form?

Birth, death, old age is of the body. It is not related to the soul. This has to be explained.)
Indian man: Ye samajhne ke liye to aapse maine ye sawaal kiya hai. (To understand this only I asked you this question.)
Prabhupada: To yehi samajhta nahi. This is the world of agyana. usko gyan dena chahiye, ye duty hai. usko agyan me rakh diya father. wo to kutta bhi hota hai. uska kya labh hai.
