Prabhupada, Visakhapatnam, February 19, 1972: ..The Vedic instruction is therefore that, don’t keep yourself within this darkness, tamasi ma jyotir gamah. There is another sky. Just like in this sky, you will find it is darkness. Naturally it is darkness. Because there is darkness, therefore Krishna has created the sun. It is stated in the Brahma-samhita. It is said,
yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam raja samasta-sura-murtir asesa-tejah yasyajnaya bhramati sambhrta-kala-cakro govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
The scientists say that the sun is rotating in its orbit so carefully that if it moves from one side, the whole universe will be immediately turned into ice, and if it moves the other side, then immediately the whole universe will be ablaze. So carefully, yasya ajnaya bhramati. The scientists have seen so far that the sun is moving very carefully.
Neither this side nor that side, exactly in the orbit. So who has ordered, who has planned this orbit? The Brahma- samhita informs, yasya-ajnaya, by whose order the sun is rotating exactly in the orbit, yasyajnaya bhramati sambhrta-kala-cakro govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami. “I am offering…” He is not struck with wonder by the arrangement in the material world, how the sun is moving, how the moon is moving, how the nature is working. He knows that there is a brain, big brain, Krishna. Krishna also says,
aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate iti matva bhajante mam budha bhava-samanvitah [Bg. 10.8]
Anyone who has understood Krishna rightly, in truth, he is Krishna conscious, he is budha, he’s actually in knowledge, bhava-samanvitah. Krishna is so great. Krishna’s great power is so great. Generally people take Krishna very slightly. “Oh, Krishna danced with the gopis.” They do not know what is Krishna.
