Krishna says, I have spoken to sun-god, forty millions of years ago.
Syamasundara: […] So Immanuel Kant says that man tends to create ideas about the universe which transcend the bounds of experience, and this is what he calls the third stage, or the transcendental dialectic.
Kant says these ideas which transcend the bounds of experience are the realm of pure reason. He calls it pure reason, or transcendental reason. And these are not fictions, but these spring from the very nature of reason itself, these transcendental ideas.
Prabhupada: Yes. That I already explained: transcendental. We are seeking eternity. I find myself as a soul; I am eternal; so I must seek an eternal world. This is not my place. I am eternal. The same example: just like fish taken from the water, he is not finding comfortable life.
So when the fish is thrown in the water, then it is comfortable. Similarly, I am spirit soul. I am not feeling comfortable with this material body. Therefore the right conclusion is how to go to the spiritual world or attain a spiritual body.
That information we are getting from Bhagavad-gita, that one who understands Krishna or develops his love for Krishna, how to see Krishna, then he gets a spiritual body to see Krishna. Because if one is very much anxious, these thoughts will continue, and at the time of his death, ending this body, if he is filled up with Krishna consciousness, he is immediately transferred. That is assured in the Bhagavad-gita by Krishna.
So our business should be: Krishna is eternal; Krishna says, “I have spoken to sun-god, forty millions of years ago.” Arjuna says, “How is that?” and He says that, “That is the nature: I do not forget, you forget.” So Krishna’s body is eternal, because forgetfulness is due to change of body. As I do not remember what happened in my last life, that means I have to change my body.
And Krishna remembers; therefore He does not change His body. Is it not? I forget. Why do I forget? Because I change my body. But Krishna does not. That means He does not change His body. That is eternal body. And sastra also confirms, sat-cid-ananda vigrahah. So if you become Krishna conscious, then you get also a similar body like Krishna.
If you get a material body, why not a spiritual body? It requires simply a process, how to get a spiritual body. So these things they do not know. Full Discussion
Syamasundara: He’s getting a hint, Kant.
