Consciousness will go with us. At the time of death the consciousness carries me to another body. Suksma, the fine, or the subtle body, the mind, intelligence, and ego, but we do not see that mind, intelligence, ego. And the soul, it is still finer. Mind is, we know you have got mind, you know I have got mind but you do not see. I know you have got intelligence, you know I have got intelligence but you can not see. But how the mind, intelligence carry the soul to another body, how you can see? We see that this gross body is stopped, we say it is everything finished, because we have got gross intelligence, we have no suksma, in Therefore we have to approach guru, just like Arjuna approached guru. And Arjuna, Krsna teaching that you are thinking of this body like a rascal. Nanusocanti panditah. He said in a very gentlemanly language, no learned man thinks like that, that means you are a fool. Nanusocanti panditah, that you are not a pandita, you are a fool. Just try to understand, that real life is for the soul, therefore you should take care of the soul. The whole Vedic language, Vedic education means to take care of the soul. The soul is entangled, embodied, engaged in this material affair, and he is suffering, and to rescue him, to get him out of this material clutches, that is called education.
