PLATE NINE
In search of the original cause of everything—“the cause of all causes”—modern scientists have delved deeply into the atom and found electrons, protons, pi-mesons, and many other particles. But they have failed to find the ultimate subatomic particle—the Supersoul, an expansion of Lord Kṛṣṇa—because they know nothing of the spiritual science of  bhakti-yoga . By entering into every atom (and into the heart of every living being), the Supersoul pervades, sustains, and controls the entire material creation. From the Supersoul comes all knowledge, remembrance, and even consciousness itself. But because the atheistic scientists can never receive His mercy, they cannot perceive Him, and thus for them the mystery of creation will remain unsolved. ( pp. 212–28 )
