Dr Wagner is speaking to the lama about switching to computers to compile a list of the names of God. He then go on to say:

Dr. Wagner was scarcely conscious of the faint sounds from the Manhattan streets far below. He was in a different world, a world of natural, not man-made, mountains

Where is Dr Wagner? Manhattan or Tibet? Is he with the lama? Are they on the phone?
