PLATE NINE

In search of the original cause of everything—‘‘the cause of all
causes’’—modern scientists have delved deeply into the atem and found
electrons, protons, pi-mesons, and many other particles. But they have
failed to find the ultimate subatomic particle—the Supersoul, an expan-
sion of Lord Krsna—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, re-
membrance, 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)
