Perfect cosmic order demands a perfect controller; atheism is foolish denial masquerading as logic.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 16.8 — January 28, 1975, Tokyo 750128BG-TOKYO [73:30 Minutes] BG-16.08_750128BG-TOKYO Nitāi: [leads chanting of verse, etc.] [devotees repeat] asatyam apratiṣṭhaṁ te jagad āhur anīśvaram aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim anyat kāma-haitukam [Bg. 16.8] [aside:] Page 732. [continues leading chanting with devotees responding] [break] [01:48] "They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire and has no cause other than lust." Prabhupāda: asatyam apratiṣṭhaṁ te jagad āhur anīśvaram aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim anyat kāma-haitukam [Bg. 16.8] This is the atheistic theory, asatyam. They say that this material world is false.
Brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā. Jagat, jagat means this cosmic manifestation which is gacchati, going. In the material world, everything is going. Just like in your city you see the cars, motorcars, they are going here and there, gacchati, very busy.
Every man is going here and there. Similarly, the whole planetary system also, beginning from its birth up to the annihilation, it is going, moving, orbit. It is going. Everything is going, moving.
Even the sun, it has got its orbit. Yac-cakṣur eṣa savitā sakala-grahāṇāṁ rājā samasta..., aśeṣa-tejāḥ, yasyājñayā bhramati sambhṛta-kāla-cakraḥ [Bs. 5.52]. The... Just like the earth has its orbit—it is rotating—similarly, every planet is rotating.
The sun is also rotating. And so far I calculate, it is sixteen thousand miles per minute, or second. I calculated once. The sun is rotating sixteen thousand miles either per minute or per second.
I forget now. So this is called jagat. Everything is going on. But it is going in such a way... Just like these cars are moving with high speed, but they are very careful to pass within the lane.
Otherwise there will be collision. Similarly, all these planets, they have got their own speed for rotating, and there are hundreds and thousands and millions, they are rotating, but there is no collision. Now, how it is made? Who has made this lane?
