Amogha: They want to see with telescope.
Prabhupāda: This is nonsense, this telescope. That is their defect. They do not admit the imperfection of the senses. What we calculated? How many billions?
Śrutakīrti: To the sun?
Prabhupāda: No, no, the length and breadth.
Śrutakīrti: Oh, it is four billion miles.
Prabhupāda: Four billion miles. So how much the telescope can see? Can you see four billion miles? Eh? Where is the telescope? If you cannot see perfectly even ten miles, with telescope you can see, say, a hundred miles or something more, something. But can you see four billion miles?
Śrutakīrti: No.
Prabhupāda: Then? What is the use of this telescope? (pause) Nothing will be finished. God's resources are unlimited. But they will be finished. Making research, research, they will be finished. God's resources will not be finished, but they will be finished. Unnecessarily they have created necessities of life. In this way, in blind capacity, they . . . after fifty years, where this big geographist is going? He does not know. And he is thinking what will happen hundred years' time.
Śrutakīrti: He's thinking that in a few hundred years the resources will be used up. He doesn't . . . he's thinking the resources will be used up.
Prabhupāda: But before that, you will be finished, so why you are anxious?
