The body is God's machine; modern science cannot restore life because it ignores the soul.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Girirāja: This is Mr. Sharma, the head technician at the airport, radar. Prabhupāda: Oh. When I went to your MIT, I challenged that "Where is that technological department where a dead man can be brought into life?" It was interesting speech. The students gathered.
This body is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gītā as machine. Do you know that? This body is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gītā as machine. Yantrārūḍhāni māyayā. īśvaraḥ sarva bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati bhrāmāyan sarva bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā [Bg 18.61] Just like you make a tour by driving a motorcar, similarly, the jīvātmā is touring all over the universe, riding on this machine.
This is machine. So... Aiye aiye. Hare Kṛṣṇa. [guest enters] Aiye. Indian man (1): Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: [Transl. Please come.] Indian man (1): [Transl. This is Mahadevia sir. He is our life member. He is my good friend.] Prabhupāda: [Transl. Sit down. Sit down.] Indian man (2): Hare Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda: We have arranged for your prasāda. Yantrārūḍhāni māyayā.
This is machine. This body is machine made by the material energy, as all other machine are made by the kṣitir-āp-teja marut-vyoma—earth, water, air, fire. These are the ingredients, any machine. Suppose it is made of iron.
So iron is another form of earth. So as all other machines are made with these material elements, similarly, this body is also made with the material elements, and it is yantra. It is particularly mentioned. But this yantra is not ordinary yantra.
You cannot make it. But it is yantra. It is made by somebody, and the ingredients are the material elements. So where is that technology?
