Mukti· Liberation

The Supreme Lord Is Within the Atoms

“One who worships Me in My atomic form pervading all subtle elements, fixing his mind on that alone, obtains the mystic perfection called aṇimā.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.15.10, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Supreme Personality of Godhead is within atoms and atomic particles.
  • One who worships the Lord in His atomic form, perfectly fixing the mind on that form, acquires aṇimā.
  • Aṇimā is the ability to become smaller than the smallest. Through it, a yogī can enter even dense matter such as stone.

Try this today

Look at a stone or another solid object and briefly remember the Lord’s presence within its atoms.

Ask yourself

How does the Lord’s presence within atoms deepen my awareness of Him?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
