What about our scars?

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 26 April 2015, Radhadesh, Belgium, Vyasa Puja Morning Lecture, Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya Lila 24.124) Question: Are there any scars from one’s past sense gratification – drug, sex abuse or other previous impious activities – which cannot be changed in this life?
