710319 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Bombay

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"There are many dehīs. Dehīs means one who accepts this material body, he is called dehī. In the Bhagavad-gītā also it is said, kaumāraṁ yauvanam jara, tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ dhīras tatra na muhyati (BG 2.13). Dehinām iha dehiṣu. So dehī means I am not this body, but I have accepted this body. Just like we accept a kind of dress, similarly, according to my desire, according to my karma, I have accepted a certain type of body, and according to that body, I am subject to different types of pains and pleasures. This is going on."
