"Mind, Intelligence, Ego are "subtle" bodies & मरने के बाद भी अगले जन्म में यह साथ रहती हैं as "subtle" bodies
इसीलिए भगवान बार-बार कहते हैं कि "मुझ में मन लगा"
https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/65/
तन और धन को हम चाहे संसार में लगाए रखें, मगर मन को भगवान में ही लगाने को बोला है, स्वयं भगवान ने, क्योंकि भगवान मन के महत्व को जानते हैं
ये तीनों distinguishing features हैं एक आत्मा के, इनके बिना तो सभी आत्मा एक जैसी हैं क्योंकि सभी आत्मायें भगवान का अंश हैं
कृपालु महाराज जी के अनेकों लेक्चर (प्रवचन) हैं, जिसमें उन्होंने बताया है कि भगवान केवल मन का किया हुआ कर्म ही note करते हैं, शरीर का किया हुआ कर्म note नहीं करते
बताया गया है कि भक्ति cumulative है, यानी इस जन्म में भक्ति यदि पूर्ण सिद्ध नहीं हो पाई, यानी भगवत प्रेम नहीं मिल पाया, तो अगले जन्म में वहीं से शुरू होती है जहां इस जन्म में छोड़ा था
मन as "subtle body" ही continuity देता है भक्ति को, एक जन्म से दूसरे जन्म में

“So this external body, exactly just like we have got our this external body. Internal body. The soul is covered by two bodies, the external and internal. External means these gross elements-earth, water, air, fire, sky. And internal means the mind, intelligence and ego. They are also material.
Just like our body is covered by shirt and coat, similarly, the soul is encaged in two kinds of bodies. When this gross body is finished, the subtle body, mind, intelligence and ego, they are there. The soul is covered. The gross body is finished. That is called death.
But “people do not know that there is no death for the soul. The outward cover is finished, the inward cover is there, and the inward cover will carry the soul to another gross body. That is called transmigration. The mind is creating, as we are making our consciousness in this life, so we are making our next life also.
There are two kinds of bodies. So when the gross body is annihilated, the subtle body carries me to another gross body. Just like the air carries the flavor of a certain place. If the air is passing over rose garden, it carries the flavor. Although we cannot see, but we can smell. We can understand the breeze is so fragrant, means it is coming over a rose garden. Similarly, filthy place, a bad smell, the air carries. So the subtle body carries the mental situation of the soul and puts him into a particular body according to that mental situation. At the time of death, the mental situation will give me chance for another gross body. If we have created my mind God conscious, then he will give me, the mental situation will give me a body by which I can make further progress.”

At the time of death the mind sets the criteria for the spirit soul's being carried to another type of body. If a living being resists the dictation of the mind and engages the mind in the loving service of the Lord, the mind cannot degrade him

Padma Purāṇa estimates the species of life to be 8,400,000, and the living entity is rotating or wandering through these species and creating bodies according to his mentality in his present life. “As you sow, so shall you reap,” is the law that governs here.
Chaitanya Mahāprabhu says that out of these numberless living entities who are transmigrating in the material world, one may be fortunate enough to take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Neither we do know there are two kinds of bodies: the gross body and the subtle body.
This gross body is made of earth, water, fire, air, ether; and the subtle body is made of mind, intelligence, and ego. Within the subtle body, the soul is there. Now, when this gross body becomes useless or unworkable, then the subtle body carries me to another gross body. This is called transmigration of the soul.
But we do not see the subtle body. Every one of us, we know that we, we have got mind, but we cannot see the mind. Neither we can see intelligence, neither I can see what is my ego. But they are existing.
So it is not necessary that everything you have to see with your blunt eyes. The eyes, they are not perfect. Just like the other side of this hall is dark, I cannot see you. Although I have got the eyes. So even though we have got eyes, it is very imperfect. It cannot see in all circumstances. Under certain circumstances, we can see. Therefore we should not believe simply by seeing. But one thing, although I cannot see you, you can hear me,

This beautiful body, which you are soaping so nicely, it will turn into three stages, stool, ashes, or dust. So the finer elements - means mind, intelligence and ego - that is, altogether it is called consciousness. That will carry you, the spirit soul, small particle of spirit. That will be carried by these three finer elements: mind, intelligence and ego. And according to the… Just like the flavor, if it is rose flavor aroma, you enjoy, "Oh it is very nice." But it is filthy flavor, passing through stool or any other filthy place and you say, "Oh, it is very bad smell." So this consciousness will carry you either in a stool smell or rose flavor, according to your work, as you make your consciousness. So if you make your consciousness, train your consciousness into Kṛṣṇa, then it will carry you to Kṛṣṇa. This is not very difficult to understand. You cannot see the air but you can experience by smelling. "Oh the air is passing through like this." Similarly, these different kinds of body are developed according to the consciousness.

Gita Shloka 9.22
अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जना: पर्युपासते ।
तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् ॥ २२ ॥
ananyāḥ — having no other object; cintayantaḥ — concentrating; mām — on Me; ye — those who; janāḥ — persons; paryupāsate — properly worship; teṣām — of them; nitya — always; abhiyuktānām — fixed in devotion; yoga — requirements; kṣemam — protection; vahāmi — carry; aham — I.
But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form – to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have.

So, although it is prescribed that we should not ask anything from God, except His love only

BUT GOD DOES FULFILL THE NEEDS (NOT GREED) OF THE DEVOTEE – SEE THE WORD योगक्षेमं automatically

Don't think that becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious one becomes poor. No. If Kṛṣṇa is there, everything is there, because Kṛṣṇa is everything. So… But we should not make any business with Kṛṣṇa, "Kṛṣṇa give me this, give me that." Kṛṣṇa knows better than you.
Just like a child does not demand from the parents, "My dear father, my dear mother, give me this or give me that." The father knows what is the necessity of the child. So this is not very good business to ask God, "Give me this, give me that." Why shall I ask?
If God is all-powerful, He knows my wants, He knows my necessities - and that is also confirmed in the Vedas. Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). That single one God is supplying all necessities of millions and trillions, innumerable, there is no count, living entities.
