Perfection exists only beyond the material body; all embodied beings, regardless of evolutionary stage, remain imperfect and subject to death.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation with Indian Guest — October 4, 1973, Bombay 731004R1-BOMBAY [17:31 Minutes] Conv_731004R1-BOMBAY Guest (1): ...the light is [indistinct].
Prabhupāda: No, no. That means light becomes subordinate to the shadow.
Guest (1): Uh, for his experience, for his growth.
Prabhupāda: That is my... Therefore this experience... You have got some experience, I have got some experience and another has experience. But so far you are talking of Bhagavad-gītā...
Because you say that Aurobindo has written on the Bhagavad-gītā. The Bhagavad-gītā says... In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, Kṛṣṇa says: mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya mayi sarvam idaṁ protaṁ sūtre maṇi-gaṇā iva [Bg. 7.7] Like that. He says that mattaḥ parataram: "There is no more superior, supramental or Supreme Personality..." As you say supramental, it is with reference to a person.
Just like Aurobindo, supramental. That means it is with reference to the Aurobindo person. Is it not? Any mental, as you say "mental," it is with reference to a person.
Guest (1): Even if somebody says he is supramental or not, a yogī automatically, when he is in touch with the creative power, he gets the..., gets the knowledge of past, present and future.
