Sharing some points :- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1. There are Two forces of nature is
acting upon us by which we decide something that We now, this life, I shall make
spiritual advancement. Now it is decided. And next moment the illusory my, or
illusory energy, says, What nonsense spiritual life you are going to do? Just enjoy
this here. You have got so many enjoyments. Why you are thinking like that? So
prakeptmik, vikeptmik. This is going on. So forgetfulness. So that is the
difference between God and man.
2. Now, the next question is that if He does not change His body, why He takes,
comes as incarnation? These are very difficult questions. There are some, many
difference of opinions amongst the philosophers. Somebody says that Krsna
assumes the material body when He comes. No. He doesnt assume the material
body like us. Then He could not remember. Just, here is a critical point. If He would
have accepted material body like us, then He could not remember because we have
got this material body, and due to this material body and change, we cannot
remember anything. Therefore the natural conclusion is that He does not change
His body.
3. . Now, we can make distinction from the spiritual body and the material body is
this, that as the description of the spiritual body is given, sat-cit-nanda, eternal,
full of knowledge and blissful, so just the opposite number is this material body. It is
neither sat, nor cit, nor nanda
