Nectar of Devotion Lectures

Suppose if somebody comes on this Earthly planet and goes to the Arabian desert, then what he'll find? He must go back again. He, they have not gone to the proper place. They have gone to the Arabian desert. That's all.

The Nectar of Devotion -- Vrndavana, October 20, 1972:

Devotee: ...scientists who are going to the moon by some artificial process that even though mechanically, on the gross level, they may reach the moon planet, because they cannot enter into the actual activity on the moon planet, technically, according to Bhāgavata, they have not reached there?

Prabhupāda: Yes. If you go... Suppose if somebody comes on this Earthly planet and goes to the Arabian desert, then what he'll find? He must go back again.

Devotee: So he can say he has been there grossly, but actually he has not been there because he cannot enter into the activity there.

Prabhupāda: Yes. He, they have not gone to the proper place. They have gone to the Arabian desert. That's all. (laughter)

Devotee: Don't think it is wrong. (end)
