now in the form of a pot. When the same pot breaks up, it turns into pieces. Out of those pieces dust is formed. There might even be a finer powder out of it. Eventually it might spread in the atmosphere. In spite of the various states of destruction that the pot may go through, it remains in the form of atoms. Atoms are never destroyed. The destroyed form of the larger groups of pudgala is atom - paramanu. There is no state beyond the paramanu. Paramanu cannot be destroyed, and in the same way cannot be created either.
There is no power in the universe that can create or destroy a paramanu. In fact the inanimate power cannot even see the paramanu. Brothers! You know that the science had challenged that the paramanu which the scriptures could not see, we have seen under the microscope. Therefore, the scriptures are proved wrong. But the atoms discovered by science were split. They further disintegrated. Paramanu is something which cannot be further split into parts. It is the ultimate part of pudgala. What science had seen was merely a group of paramanus formed into a skandha, and not a paramanu.
In spite of there being very powerful equipment in the scientists' laboratories, all that equipment is inanimate. The power of inanimate is limited and that of animate is limitless. That is how our omniscient Bhagawants could see the parmanu form of the pudgala. Just think, Brothers! How great might the power of the Supreme Soul be, that it could see that substance and not merely that substance but its qualities and its transformation at every moment, in the matter of a moment, for which science has spent billions like water, spent entire lives over research and given everything that it has, but in vain. In the state of omniscience, the schematics of the entire Universe is flashed at once. Then how large must the laboratory of the Kevali Parmatma be? What experiments! What Power!
