<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- January 27, 1977, Puri|Room Conversation -- January 27, 1977, Puri]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Hari-śauri: That description of Brahmā receiving knowledge through the heart, is that at the beginning of every day, or is that just at the beginning of the creation of the universe?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Beginning of the creation.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Oh. It's not every day, then.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Every day or... It may be. Just like we have got experience, day and night, night sleeping. So at night I forget everything. When I awake, wake up from sleep, then I begin my duty.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: But if the top planets are still functioning...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, this is the position of Brahmā also. Brahmā does not mean that he is liberated. Either Brahmā or ant, all of them are under material laws. The law is that at night I forget everything. When I wake up in the morning I remember. So that is the position of Brahmā. Suptotthita-nyāya. This is called "waking-up logic." Suptotthita-nyāya. Supta and utthita. Supta means sleeping, and utthita means to get up from sleep. So who is going to consider all this? They say it is mythology. They cannot properly answer, but they dismiss your proposal.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: They say these are the explanations that ancient man gave before science came. Now science...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What, rascal, you are giving, explanation? Do you know what are the stars?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: As if science explained these things.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That... What is your science nonsense? You cannot explain actually what is the position. You are simply speculating—"There is no life," "Somewhere there may be life. Let us take photograph. Let us go." What is your knowledge? We have got some knowledge from the śāstra that they're all full of living entities. And what knowledge you have got? We have got some śāstric evidence, Veda-śāstra. Is full of life, but you have no evidence. You simply speculate. So what is the value of your knowledge? Admitting that you are defective, I am defective, but I have got some authority. You have nothing. You are in the darkness.</p>
