Generally, in the higher planetary system they are more intelligent than the human being. Ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthāḥ (BG 14.18). Those who are on the platform of goodness, ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti, they are promoted to the higher planetary system. Above our planet there are so many other planets. This is called Bhūr-loka. Above this, Bhuvar-loka; there is Svargaloka, then Janaloka, then Tapoloka, then Maharloka, then Satyaloka, then there is spiritual sky. Then there is spiritual planet. There are so many things.
It is not that we are . . . kūpa-maṇḍūka-nyāya. Kūpa-maṇḍūka-nyāya, Dr. Frog. A frog lives in a well, three feet, that's all. So if he's informed that there is Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, he becomes surprised—"How is that? What is that Pacific Ocean?" he will ask. He will try to measure Pacific Ocean from the well. So that is not possible. One who is living in the well, he must get information of the Pacific Ocean if he cannot get out.
So similarly, God's creation is very, very vast. It is not within your imagination. You cannot know even within this universe. This universe, we are trying to go to the moon planet; that is also failure. That is the nearest planet. But there are . . . you can see millions and trillions of planets all distributed within the universe. And not only in this one universe—there are millions and trillions of universes also. This information we get.
