<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- March 18, 1976, Mayapura|Morning Walk -- March 18, 1976, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Is the earth also spinning?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Or is it simply the sun's movements that causes the day and night, everything?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No planet is fixed except the sun. All are fixed up. But the whole thing is moving. That is Bhāgavatam. And that you can see at night.</p>
<p>Gurudāsa: What'd he say?</p>
<p>Pañca-draviḍa: No planet is fixed. The earth and sun, they're all moving.</p>
<p>Gurudāsa: The sun is fixed.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, but they're all moving.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: But they're all moving.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is like a tree, just like this. This is moving, and the sun is moving, and all other planets, they are fixed.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: How is it we see the moon coming in every day, then?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: How is it that we see the moon moving?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Moon, that is..., of course, I do not remember, but (laughs) the whole planetary system is moving.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And the sun is fixed, but the whole, it's also moving.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Sun is also moving.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Everything is revolving around that polestar?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Everything is moving around the sun, and the sun is moving around the polestar.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: No. Everything is not moving around the sun.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Like that tree, if the tree revolves by itself, like that, then the sun(?) is going around the whole thing.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is also another intelligent.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Yes.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: The tree is just moving like that, and the different branches, they remain in the same position in relationship to the center of the tree.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: But the sun has it's own...</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: But the sun has an orbit around the whole thing...</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It's own course.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: So the whole universe moves around. Every twenty-four hours it does one rotation. And then the sun is also round all that.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Every twenty-four hours?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The moon.</p>
<p>Gurudāsa: Acintya-bhedābheda-tattva.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Gurudāsa: It seems to be one and different simultaneously.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, not like that point. (laughs)</p>
