We have decided we are going to Krsna

Bhakti-devi dasi: Can we decide what we want to be in our next life?
Prabhupada: Yes, you can decide. Just like we have decided next life we are
going to Krsna. This is our decision: back to home, back to Godhead. Just
like you become educated, after decision that you are going to be engineer,
you are going to be medical practitioner, and in that objective you prepare
yourself, educate yourself. Similarly, you can decide what you are going to
do next life. If you don’t decide, then material nature will decide. Just
like a boy who is not nicely educated, without any future objective, the
government will decide. If he’s a criminal, then government will decide, “Go
to jail,” and if he’s nicely educated, the government will decide, “You take
this job.” So everything is like that. We have got our future life, and if
we don’t prepare what is that future life, then we are like animals. The
animals, they do not know.
