Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.62
"The living entity labors under the bodily conception of “I am this, I am that. My duty is this, and therefore I shall do it.” These are all mental impressions, and all these activities are temporary; nonetheless, by the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the living entity gets a chance to execute all his mental concoctions. Thus he gets another body." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/62
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.63
"One can understand the mental or conscious position of a living entity by the activities of two kinds of senses — the knowledge-acquiring senses and the executive senses. Similarly, by the mental condition or consciousness of a person, one can understand his position in the previous life." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/63
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.64-65
"Sometimes we suddenly experience something that was never experienced in the present body by sight or hearing. Sometimes we see such things suddenly in dreams." "Therefore, my dear King, the living entity, who has a subtle mental covering, develops all kinds of thoughts and images because of his previous body. Take this from me as certain. There is no possibility of concocting anything mentally without having perceived it in the previous body." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/64 & https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/65
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.66
"O King, all good fortune unto you! The mind is the cause of the living entity’s attaining a certain type of body in accordance with his association with material nature. According to one’s mental composition, one can understand what the living entity was in his past life as well as what kind of body he will have in the future. Thus the mind indicates the past and future bodies." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/66
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.67-68
"Sometimes in a dream we see something never experienced or heard of in this life, but all these incidents have been experienced at different times, in different places and in different conditions." "The mind of the living entity continues to exist in various gross bodies, and according to one’s desires for sense gratification, the mind records different thoughts. In the mind these appear together in different combinations; therefore these images sometimes appear as things never seen or never heard before." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/67 & https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/68
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.70
"As long as there exists the subtle material body composed of intelligence, mind, senses, sense objects, and the reactions of the material qualities, the consciousness of false identification and its relative objective, the gross body, exist as well." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/70
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.71
"When the living entity is in deep sleep, when he faints, when there is some great shock on account of severe loss, at the time of death, or when the body temperature is very high, the movement of the life air is arrested. At that time the living entity loses knowledge of identifying the body with the self." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/71
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.73
"When the living entity dreams, the sense objects are not actually present. However, because one has associated with the sense objects, they become manifest. Similarly, the living entity with undeveloped senses does not cease to exist materially, even though he may not be exactly in contact with the sense objects." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/73
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.74
"The five sense objects, the five sense organs, the five knowledge-acquiring senses and the mind are the sixteen material expansions. These combine with the living entity and are influenced by the three modes of material nature. Thus the existence of the conditioned soul is understood." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/74
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.75
"By virtue of the processes of the subtle body, the living entity develops and gives up gross bodies. This is known as the transmigration of the soul. Thus the soul becomes subjected to different types of so-called enjoyment, lamentation, fear, happiness and unhappiness." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/75
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.76-77
"The caterpillar transports itself from one leaf to another by capturing one leaf before giving up the other. Similarly, according to his previous work, the living entity must capture another body before giving up the one he has. This is because the mind is the reservoir of all kinds of desires." Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.76-77
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.78
"As long as we desire to enjoy sense gratification, we create material activities. When the living entity acts in the material field, he enjoys the senses, and while enjoying the senses, he creates another series of material activities. In this way the living entity becomes entrapped as a conditioned soul." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/78
