The human body is a strong boat; the guru is captain; scriptures are favorable wind; cross the material ocean.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — May 11, 1975, Perth 750511MW-PERTH [43:12 Minutes] Walk_750511MW-PERTH [in car] Prabhupāda: It is not [indistinct]. Only sun. Paramahaṁsa: What are the stars exactly? They're other planets, or...?
Prabhupāda: They're planets, heavenly planets. Paramahaṁsa: Are they self-luminating like the moon?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Like that. That is stated in Bhagavad-gītā, nakṣatrāṇām ahaṁ śaśi [Bg. 10.21]. Paramahaṁsa: Ah, "Of luminaries, I am the moon." Prabhupāda: Yes.
Amogha: Yes. Very soon the United States is sending up one rocket, and Russia is sending up another rocket, and they are joining in space, and they think this is progress. They'll join together up there. They hope someday that they'll be able to stay in a station like that and then go out to some planet.
Prabhupāda: They could not mix in this planet; they are going to mix in another planet. Paramahaṁsa: They'll probably have some argument in outer space. The astronauts will get into a fight.
Prabhupāda: The rascal could not compromise here; they're going in the sky. All mental concoction. Gaṇeśa: They actually have never got to the moon, Prabhupada.
Amogha: He says did they actually get to the moon or not? Prabhupāda: That I am doubtful. Always. They have... They might have gone...
