<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- May 11, 1975, Perth|Morning Walk -- May 11, 1975, Perth]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Amogha: What are the stars exactly, they're other planets or...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They're planets, (indistinct) planets.</p>
<p>Amogha: Are they self-luminating like the moon?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Like that. That is stated in Bhagavad-gītā, nakṣatrāṇām ahaṁ śaśi.</p>
<p>Amogha: Ah, "Of luminaries, I am the moon."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Amogha: 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 they'll be able to stay in a station like that and then go out to some planet.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They could not mix in this planet, they are going to mix in another planet.</p>
<p>Srutakirti: They'll probably have some argument in outer space. The astronauts will get into a fight.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The rascal could not compromise here, they're going in the sky. All mental concoction.</p>
<p>Gaṇeśa: They actually have never got to the moon.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Amogha: He says did they actually get to the moon or not?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That I am doubtful. Always. (break) ...doubt always. They have... They might have gone... Mostly, most probably they have not gone. Simply propaganda. But even they have gone, not to moon. Maybe the Rahu planet. Or there are so many other planets.</p>
<p>Amogha: Is that Rahu planet closer than the moon to the earth?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Rahu planet orbit is in between moon and sun. So when it comes in between moon and sun there is eclipse. At night it is eclipse in the moon, and daytime it is eclipse in the sun.</p>
<p>Amogha: They used to think that because there is overpopulation we will go to another planet and then begin living there.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No question of overpopulation. There are so many land. You do not know how to live. There is no question of overpopulation. You want to live like cats and dogs. Therefore you fight; there is scarcity. If you live properly, there is no question of scarcity. (break) Otherwise it is perfect. Everything is perfect. There is no question of inconvenience. You live according to the direction of Bhagavad-gītā; there is no question of scarcity, inconvenience, overpopulation. Everything is made.</p>
<p>Amogha: People just take it for granted that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Amogha: Due to the propaganda, people take it for granted, "Yes, there is overpopulation. Yes, there is lack of food. There is starvation, this and that."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because they cannot manage, so they give some other cause.</p>
<p>Amogha: Yeah. They blame it on nature.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Amogha: But they don't know that nature's arrangement is perfect.</p>
<p>Paramahaṁsa: They spend billions of dollars to try to go in space, but they don't spend that money for food.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Jaya, thank you, jaya. (break)</p>
