Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Overcoming Adversity, p. 165
Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita, su-sukham kartum avyayam: this process is everlasting and joyfully performed. We can therefore experience happiness in the midst of suffering. When devotees see their suffering in connection with Krishna, they are joyful because they understand that their suffering helps them come closer to Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 1.28-29, London, July 22, 1973
Our body is a network of nescience, or ignorance. This body, why we have got this body, material body? Because we have forgotten Krsna and we wanted to lord it over the material nature. This is our position. Therefore, according to our different desires, we have got different body. Here we are sitting, say fifty or hundred men. Nobody's body will tally with other's body. Face and everything, different. Because every one of us has got different desires. Therefore their facial expression, bodily construction, everything is made according to the mind. So at the time of death also, the constitution of mind will transfer me to another, different type of body. The mind will carry the soul. These are all explained in the Bhagavad-gita.
