214 Teachings of Lord Chaitanya

than the celebrated scientists themselves. If brains like that of Jagadish Bose
or of Isaac Newton could have been manufactured by any human being,
then they would have produced many such brains instead of eulogizing the
brains of these scientists. Even the scientists could not manufacture a similar
brain, what to speak of other foolish atheists who defy the authority of the
Lord?

Even the Mayavadi impersonalists who flatter themselves that they have
become the Lord are not Avijna or Swarat, fully cognizant or fully independent.
Such Mayavadi monists undergo a severe process of austerity and penances
to acquire the knowledge of becoming one with the Lord, but ultimately
they become dependent on some rich follower who supplies them the requisite
paraphernalia to conduct a great establishment in the form of monastery and
temples. Atheists like Ravana and Hiranya Kashipu had to undergo severe
penances before they could flout the authority of the Lord, and ultimately
they were so helpless that they could not save themselves when the Lord
appeared before them as cruel Death. The same is applicable to the modern
atheists also who dare to flout the authority of the Lord. Such atheists will
be dealt similar awards as were meted out to the past great atheists like Ravana
and Hiranya Kashipu. History repeats itself and so what was accorded in the
past, will recur again and again whenever there is such necessity. Whenever
there is negligence of the authority of the Lord, the penalty by the laws of
Nature is always there.

That the Supreme Lord, the Personality of Godhead, is All-perfect is
confirmed in all Sruti Mantras. It is said in the Sruti Mantras that the All-

living beings are parts and parcels of the Lord, and He impregnates the vast
material Nature with the seeds of spiritual sparks, and thus the creative energies
are set in motion for so many wonderful creations. One atheist friend argued
that God is no more expert than the manufacturer of a subtle watch which
moves by delicate machineries. We had to reply to the atheist friend that
God is still a greater mechanic than the watchmaker in the sense that He creates
one machine in duplicate male and female forms. The male and female forms
of different grades of machinery go on producing innumerable quantities
of similar machines without the further attention of God. Ifa man could manu-
facture such sets of duplicate machines to produce further machines without
any attention from the original manufacturer, then of course a man could
equal the intelligence of God. But that is not possible. Each and every one of
the imperfect machines have to be handled individually by the mechanic,
