Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.35 — October 15, 1974, Māyāpur 741015SB-MAYAPUR [41:38 Minutes] SB-01.08.35_741015SB-MAYAPUR Nitāi: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] bhave 'smin [break] [00:23] "[And yet others say that You appeared to] ...rejuvenate the devotional service of hearing, remembering, worshiping and so on, in order that the conditioned souls suffering from material pangs might take advantage and gain liberation." Prabhupāda: bhave 'smin kliśyamānānām avidyā-kāma-karmabhiḥ... bhave 'smin kliśyamānānām avidyā-kāma-karmabhiḥ śravaṇa-smaraṇārhāṇi kariṣyann iti kecana [SB 1.8.35] This is a very important verse.
Bhave asmin. Asmin means "this," and bhave, "the material world." Bhava means to grow; means... Grow means which has taken birth. That requires grow.
In the material world, there are six kinds of changes: first of all birth, then grow, then stay for some time, then producing some by-product, then diminishing, dwindling, and then vanish. These are the six kinds of changes. Just like this body: It has taken birth at a certain date, and it has grown, that the child is growing. And growing, it will stay; not immediately vanish.
It will stay. And while staying, it will create some by-product. From this body, so many sons and daughters will come, by-product. Even tree, they produce also.
Everyone. Then it becomes old, no more strength, and when it is very old, finish. These are called ṣaḍ-vikāra. That is on account of this body. So after finishing this body, then I am not finished; I am there.
I am, this gross body, finished, but I am within this subtle body—mind, intelligence and ego. The subtle body carries me to another gross body. These so-called scientists, medical men, they cannot see the subtle body, although one has to accept. Just like I have got mind; you have got mind—but I cannot see your mind; you cannot see my mind.
I have got intelligence; you have got intelligence. Everyone knows. But you cannot see my intelligence; I cannot see your intelligence. They are very subtle.
