Prabhupāda: What is the time now? Pañcadraviḍa: [indistinct] 6:35.

Prabhupāda: [break] ...fire, explain. Harikeśa: Oh, because people can't see life in fire, they think there's no life in it, so therefore there's no life in the sun. But it's just like the Tata factory. When you see it from a distance there's many flames and fires, but inside there's many people who are working.

Therefore just because you can't see life in fire doesn't mean it's not there. We see life in the earth, we see life in the water, we see life in the air, so why not in the fire? Is that all right?

Prabhupāda: Now question, answer. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, one question is that the people in the Tata factory are not actually in the fire.

Prabhupāda: Hmm? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They are not actually in the fire.

Prabhupāda: So they are also not in the fire. I say even if it is in the fire, there is no harm, because the living soul is not burned to fire. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā. Adāhyo 'yam.

Dāhya. [Bg 2.24] Dāhya means burned. It is not burned. These are wrong conception.
