The body.

Just like this child's activities at the present moment will not be the same when she will get another body as young woman. That will be different activity. So according to our change of body we have got different engagements. A child talks all foolish things; nobody cares for it. But the same child, when he gets another body, if he talks foolish, then he will be called, "Oh, you are so fool. You are talking like this." Because the body has changed. So body is changing. That's a fact. But apasyatam atma-tattvam [SB 2.1.2], one who does not know that the spirit soul is eternal and changing body, they are blind, apasyatam atma-tattvam [SB 2.1.2]. They are simply engrossed in this bodily concept of life. Grhesu grha-medhinam. Compact, encaged in this body, encaged in society, encaged in nationalism, encaged in religion, encaged in ideas, philosophy. But there is no question of discussing about the soul.
