Prabhupāda: They understood. Because when Kaṁsa was baffled in killing the children of his sister, he regretted that "I have killed so many children of you, my dear sister. I am awaiting the most abominable hellish conditions." He admitted. [break] Ambarīṣa: ...don't know what good and bad is.
They think if you don't kill anybody that you will go to heaven. I mean any human being. Siddha-svarūpa: But they think that this is only one? They do accept that there's life after this life and that they will live either in heavenly planets...
Prabhupāda: Otherwise, what is the meaning of going to God? They believe it. Siddha-svarūpa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: What is, the Bible says, "Come to kingdom of God"? Siddha-svarūpa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So if you have no next life, how you are going to there? Siddha-svarūpa: Yes. They accept another life.
Prabhupāda: Then that is... Another life means soul. Siddha-svarūpa: Yes.
