In plain words
Even the scientist who has studied it by research himself uses, for th… that goes with daily experience, these words: good morning, good night, east, west. This scientist holds it proven that there is no Morning, evening; what does he really mean when he says good morning? The earth is a sphere, isn't it; where is morning for it, where is evening? From the place where he stands, he finds directions, night and day in his own experience.
Another small example. When the bench a man stands on moves a little, the person standing on it moves too. A person travelling seated in a cart moves too when the cart moves. These are everyday experiences we have directly in daily life. But the earth we live on is turning round itself at a speed of many thousands of miles an hour. Not only that: this earth is going round the sun at a speed of many thousands of miles more. We imagine that the earth, turning at so many thousands of miles, is not turning at all, that it simply stands still. The truth that is, is one thing; the experience is another. But today we are not trying to recognise the truth that is. We go on taking only the experiences we have had as our basis. … for what lives in human nature experience is essential, but the direct proof that begins in research and observation alone does not bring as much satisfaction.
All creation is nothing but an assembly of atoms. This very assembly of atoms is the root and basis of all energy. The unfolding of these energy waves itself turns into these waves. The energy of these atoms appears differ… in each substance. A small example. We have poured some water into a tumbler. If we drop any small stone into it, the water makes room for that stone and sends it down to the bottom. If the vessel moves a little, or any small breeze blows, waves form in that water. These waves too are nothing but an assembly of atoms. But these waves of atoms have only a little energy. This water has taken on a liquid form. When we think of this same thing in another way, what is in the sea is just this water, a liquid. When a fierce wind enters this water, it takes shape as a great wave, like a tidal surge. This great wave is far stronger than hard rock. Such waves smash even huge boats to pieces. They bring down even hard mountains of rock. Where did this water get the power to bring down even this rock? We take all this to be nothing but the energy waves of atoms.
Now, of the atom they said that every substance is formed of atoms; that there are, subtler still than these, particles, namely the energies called electrons, neutrons and protons; that these are yet finer particles; and that the assembly of these particles is the form of the substance.
