Srila Prabhupada frame photoFrom Srila Prabhupada --  This {material} form is temporary. Everyone knows this form will be finished. Antavanta ime deha [Bg. 2.18], Krsna says. This body is antavat. Antavat means it will be finished. It grew at a certain date, and it will increase, it will stay, then it will dwindle, then it will produce some by-products and then vanish. This is called sad-vikara, six kinds of changes of the material body. Of the spiritual body there is no such change. That is the difference between spiritual body and material body. Therefore it is called sat. Sat means eternal; there is no change. Just like Krsna. His body is sac-cid-ananda; therefore He never grows old. You'll never find a picture of Krsna that He has grown old. No. There is no change. Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam adyam purana-purusam [Bs. 5.33]. Purana-purusam means the oldest person. Because Krsna is the origin of everything... Sometimes they consider, "Because God is very old, therefore He must have big, big beard and..." That is imagination. Here you find the real description of God: advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam adyam [Bs. 5.33], "Original," Purana-purusam, "the oldest of all," nava-yauvanam ca, "but His bodily feature is just like a fresh young man." That is Krsna. You'll never find Krsna... Krsna, when He was in the battlefield of Kuruksetra, He was a great-grandfather, but you'll find a young boy. That is Krsna. So that is eternal."   Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 1.16, Hyderabad, April 9, 1975
