The body is an ever-changing machine supplied by nature according to desire; only bhakti fully purifies perception.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — July 2, 1975, Denver 750702MW-DENVER [37:30 Minutes] Walk_750702MW-DENVER [in car] Brahmānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So bullet expected also? [laughs] Brahmānanda: All great leaders, they live in constant fear.
Prabhupāda: Bhayaṁ dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syāt [SB 11.2.37]. Everyone, animal up to the king of heaven—always fearful. Ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunaṁ ca [Hitopadeśa]. So fearfulness is one of the qualification of conditioned soul.
Yesterday you were putting forward the logic "machine." Machine, we also accept. In Bhagavad-gītā it is mentioned, this body is machine, yantra. Yantra means machine. So at the same time, you said "growing." Do you grow machine, Ford car?
Ambarīṣa: Do they grow? No, they... [laughs]
Prabhupāda: Then how the analogy is perfect? Machine it is. That is accepted. Kṛṣṇa says.
That is undoubtedly, it is machine. It is nothing but machine. So machine, at the same time, he says, "It grows." How it can be comparable? Brahmānanda: The body is compared to a machine.
