Conceiving things beyond our limited brains!

Revatinandana: Prabhupada was letting us ask questions. I said, Prabhupada, it says in the Srimad-Bhagavatam that the fourteen different grades of planetary systems are arranged along the stem of the lotus flower. I always envisioned them as they are in the paintings, out in space around Brahmaloka. But here it says that they're along the stem of the lotus flower. How can that be? Visually they appear to be in all directions.

Prabhupada looked at me, smiled, and said, "It may be a very big lotus flower," and shook his head a little bit. He said, "We cannot understand these things with our puppy brains," and smiled. It was immediately revealed to me that I have a very small scope for conceiving such things.
