Your scientists and your appreciator, all, they are like tiny dwarfs. What do they know about the universal affair? That is their fault. They are so small . . . That, the same example, Dr. Frog, calculating Atlantic Ocean. This is the fault. They do not consider their position. Just like there are thousands of ants. We can immediately kill them. And they are thinking they are very big, the ants, that "We are very busy. We are very big." So these rascals' position is like that. If the devatās in higher planets like, all the population of this material . . ., this earth, they can kill like this—finish, just like we can kill the ants.

Prabhupāda: You are not killed. Then it comes as a . . . You can go to the court: "It is not killed."

Hṛdayānanda: They will say that . . . No, I will say. I will take the part of the rascal.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Hṛdayānanda: I'll be the rascal. "No, actually I am killed, because even though I may not be conscious of it, someone is conscious of it. As long as someone must be . . . Just when something . . . It is necessary that someone be conscious of it."

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, supposing in the woods. You're in the woods and I kill you during your sleep. There is no other human being there.

Hṛdayānanda: "But you were conscious of it. You were conscious of my death, so therefore my death is a fact."

Prabhupāda: Then in the forest there are no animals?

Hṛdayānanda: Yes.

Prabhupāda: They cannot . . . They are not conscious?

Hṛdayānanda: Well, if an animal hears, that's all right also. As long as someone is conscious.

Prabhupāda: In the forest there are many animals, hundreds and thousands. They are conscious that tree has fallen. Then?

Hṛdayānanda: Then it would also be acceptable. As long as some living being has . . .

Prabhupāda: Then what is this? Everywhere someone is conscious. There is no vacancy. So this is useless talking. Fool's talk.

Hṛdayānanda: In the outer space there is no consciousness.

Prabhupāda: Who says? The fools say. There are consciousness. There are so many birds flying from one planet . . .

Hṛdayānanda: Higher up.

Prabhupāda: Higher means it is higher for you because you are so dwarf. You are so dwarfed, you'll find that this tree is very big tree. You see? A small dwarf man, a pigmy, he'll say, "Oh, it is a big tree." So it is all relative. What is called? Relative world? Higher and lower, this is all relativity. You are so low that you see a teeny thing very high. It is due to your lowerness. Where there is no tree, these trees will be considered, "Oh, very high tree." So your scientists and your appreciator, all, they are like tiny dwarfs. What do they know about the universal affair? That is their fault. They are so small . . . That, the same example, Dr. Frog, calculating Atlantic Ocean. This is the fault. They do not consider their position. Just like there are thousands of ants. We can immediately kill them. And they are thinking they are very big, the ants, that "We are very busy. We are very big." So these rascals' position is like that. If the devatās in higher planets like, all the population of this material . . ., this earth, they can kill like this—finish, just like we can kill the ants.
