Srila Prabhupada, Mayapur, April 4, 1975: […] This is the difference between the material world and the spiritual world. In the spiritual world there is no creation and no destruction. In the material world, there is creation and destruction.
Now we, being part and parcel of Vishnu, Krishna… Krishna says personally, mamaivamsah. So if Krishna is not affected by this creation and annihilation, then we, being part and parcel of Krishna, why we should be affected by this creation and annihilation? We are very much afraid of being annihilated, and we are trying to discover many scientific, so-called scientific methods how we may not be destroyed. Why this inclination that we may not be destroyed?
Because we are part and parcel of Krishna; therefore eternity of life is our aspiration. That is the proof that we are…, Krishna is eternal, similarly, we are also eternal. But circumstantially we are now put into this material world. Therefore our main business is how to revive our original position, not to be annihilated, never annihilated. It is clearly said in the Bhagavad-gita. Actually we are not annihilated. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20], nityo sasvato ’yam.
So that is our real business. This requires little intelligence, that “We are eternal. Why we are put into this process of taking birth and death?” Krishna also says, “This is the real misery of life—janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam.”
