Imported quote 21928 Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 22nd Sept. 1976 and have noted the contents. Regarding details of the universe, be satisfied by reading only Bhagavatam. What is the use of reading other books-you are not going there. Some portion of the earth is flat. When you stand in any place you see flat, so for us to some extent it appears flat, but it is round.

Without sunrise, however expert you may be in science, you cannot see even. Therefore real eye-the sun. Any sane man will admit. Now it is darkness at night. Have any scientists any instrument to show that everything is visible? No. That is not possible. The real eyes. This is subsequent, secondary eyes. We are very much proud of our eyes, that "Can you show me God?" Are you able to see God? What is the value of your eyes? As soon as there is darkness, your eyes are finished.

It is not real knowledge. Sastra-caksusat. You should know things through the sastra, guru. Sadhu-sastra-guru-vakya, tinete kariya aikya. [Sri Prema-bhakti-candrika 2.6] This is... If you want to know something, then it must be confirmed by sadhu, sastra and guru. Then it is complete. And if you speculate, if you establish something under speculation, then it is not right; it is wrong.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: It is written the world... The earth is round and flat.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: Earth is round and flat both, together.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: First we should... We can reply it is acintya. This should be the reply. "Inconceivable."
(More...) Prabhupada: Everything you conceived, that is wrong.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: The Lord is inconceivable always and any [indistinct], it is inconceivable.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: This outer structure of the Lord is one with the Lord. It is inconceivable; it is not conceivable. Very good. It is human [indistinct].
(More...) Imported quote 24464 Prabhupada: So your name is Romaharsana. Romaharsana was a great learned scholar for explaining Vedic literature. But once upon a time he committed some offense. In a great meeting he was speaking about Vedic hymns, and Balarama, He entered that sacrificial arena. So all the sages and brahmanas and everyone stood up. This Romaharsana did not.
