Perfect knowledge belongs to Krishna alone; human perception is forever limited, so accept the Vedas.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation — December 6, 1971, Delhi 711206R1-DELHI [14:09 Minutes] Conv_711206R1-DELHI Prabhupāda: ... [indistinct], do not try to understand by your rascaldom arguments. It's not possible, therefore it is acintya—take the version as it is stated in the Vedas. That is our position. Pañca-draviḍa: You also give the example about the frog in the well. Prabhupāda: Yes. Pañca-draviḍa: And the scientists they have in some way they have measured what a frog sees.
And they say that a frog cannot... The frog sees only movement. Like a frog's eyes are equipped that they can see the movement of a fly. If a fly goes past it's eye it sees that movement it catches the fly but anything larger than the movement of the fly a frog cannot see. Prabhupāda: Ah, suppose you are a frog then how you can understand God? Pañca-draviḍa: Cannot even understand man. Prabhupāda: Yes, so you are no better than a frog. Pañca-draviḍa: Hm. Prabhupāda: Everything is limited, this is my family, this is my country, this is my nation, so you cannot see anything more than there.
Or you can see utmost this is your planet and beyond that you cannot see. Pañca-draviḍa: Hm.
Prabhupāda: Even though... Or even if you understand it, that is not possible. If you're individual but there are millions of universes you do not. What is going on in that universe.
You do not know even what is going on in other planets. Just like you are seeing the planet sun god as sun planet. But you do not know how with such temperatures the living entities can live there. Devotee: Hm. Prabhupāda: But they live, Huh? They live.
Why? What. Where is the difficulty to understand? Suppose if the sun planet is fire, this fire, so fire is one of the material elements, bhūmir āpo 'nalo [Bg 7.4], analaḥ means fire.
So bhūmir means that you see there are living entities on the lake, āpaḥ—water there are living entities in water. So why not living entities in the fire? This is also material. Pañca-draviḍa: When the, when the.. Prabhupāda: And if you say that, "in fire everybody can live." No. Nobody can live you cannot say, it must be suitable for the fire, just like the fish live in the water.
