insects smaller than the ant. So there must be a mechanical arrangement for all this detailed activity, but scientists cannot discover it.
Relativity and Knowledge
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  All living entities possess the required intelligence to execute four principles: eating, sleeping, sexual intercourse and defense. These four principles exist even in the atom. The only difference in the human being is that he has the extra intelligence with which to understand God. This is the difference.  Āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunam ca samānam etat paśubhir narāṇām.  Eating, sleeping, sex life and defense are to be found everywhere. You have seen trees growing. Wherever there is a knot, the bark does not go  this  way; it goes  that  way. [Śrīla Prabhupāda gestures to show that a tree's bark grows not over a knot, but around it.] The tree has intelligence: "If I go this way, I will be blocked, so I will go that way." But where are its eyes? How can it see? It has  intelligence.  That intelligence may not be as good as yours, but it  is  intelligence. Similarly, a child also has intelligence, though not as developed as his father's. In due course of time, when the child gets a body like that of his father, the child's intelligence will be fully developed and exhibited.
Dr. Singh , Then intelligence is relative..
Śrīla Prabhupāda.  Yes. Everything is relative. You have your body, your duration of life, and your intelligence, and the ant has his. Both we and the ant live for one hundred years, but the length of our hundred-year life-span is relative to our bodies. Even Brahmā, the longest-living entity in this universe, lives for one hundred years. To us the ant's life-span may seem only a few days. In the same way, on other planets with atmospheres different from the earth's, there are life-forms suited to those conditions. But the scientists try to view everything according to the relative conditions of planet earth. This is nonsense. Why are they doing that? If the whole cosmic manifestation follows the law of relativity, how can the scientist say that the conditions of this planet must apply to life on other planets? The  Vedas  instruct us that knowledge must always be considered in terms of  deśa-kāla-pātra .  Deśa  means "circumstances,"  kāla  means "time," and  pātra  means "the object." We must understand everything by taking these three elements into consideration. For example, a fish is living very comfortably in the water, and we are shivering on the shore of the sea. This is because my  deśa-kāla-pātra  and the fish's  deśa-kāla-pātra  are different. But if we conclude that the sea gulls will also shiver in the water, that is nonsense; their  deśa-kāla-pātra  is again different. There are 8,400,000 different species of life in the material cosmic manifestation, and each species must adjust to circumstances differently. Even on this planet, you cannot go live comfortably in Alaska, although it is America. Similarly, the living entities enjoying life
Karandhara.  Relativity, then, is based upon our individual situation.
Śrīla Prabhupāda . Yes. Therefore it is said that what is food for one is poison for another.
Brahmānanda Swami.  Because scientists cannot survive on the moon, they think no one else can.
The 8.6-Billion-Year Day
Dr. Singh.  The problem with the world is that practically everyone is thinking only in terms of his own circumstances-and that is nonsense.
Student.  Someone who has never gone out of his village thinks that his village is the whole world.
