So here is a description of the residents of Vaikuṇṭha. Now, the fools and rascals will say this is all mythology . . . (indistinct) . . . and Vyāsadeva, the compiler of the Vedic literature, he has presented this science by presenting our Vedic philosophy . . . (indistinct) . . . it is not mythology; it is fact. Have you seen all the inhabitants of all the planets? How you can say? You have to take information from the right source, Vedic source. There are, yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-koṭiṣv aśeṣa . . . yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-koṭiṣv aśeṣa-vibhūti-bhinnam (BS 5.40). God's creation is so vast, you cannot estimate even what is the length and breadth of this universe. It is not possible. We have got information four millions of miles. And where is sun situated? Everything is there. So how it is? We are not going by sputnik to measure it. We have got information from Vedic literature. And if you don’t agree, so how you can say it is not, because you have not measured it. If you say you have measured by, what is called, telescope and other machinery. So what is this measuring? You are imperfect, and your machine must be imperfect. How you can measure or manufacture a perfect machine? It is not possible, because you are imperfect; your senses are imperfect. Although you have got your eyes, you cannot see which is situated a very long distance away. Just like you see the sun like the disc. Huh? So the sun is not like a disc if you get closer. It is big.
So with every sense you analyze, you will find, not only your eyes, your all other senses, they are imperfect. Imperfectness of senses . . . you have got four defects. One defect is that you commit mistakes. One defect is that we accept something for something else, illusion. Just like everybody, practically 99.9% all over the world, they are accepting this body as the self. It is also imperfect senses. One who accepts this body as the self is in the line of the animals. The animals . . . the dogs are thinking, "I am dog," and he's barking. So similarly, if I think, "I am Indian," "I am American," where is the difference between the dog and me? There is no difference. Dog does not know that he is not this body, and I do not know that I am not this body.
