In plain words
After the sound of the Praṇava began, the sun, the moon and the rest, the earth and the sky came into being. The root cause of this creation is the paramāṇu itself. Every human being is nothing but a form compounded of paramāṇus. Nowhere is a body or a form to be seen without the paramāṇu. So man must first of all try to recognise the principle of the paramāṇu.
Divinity can be recognised through the principle of the atom alone
Man today cannot understand the truths that our ancient ṛṣis proclaimed; he takes them for made-up tales and mocks them. He has lost the strength and ability to recognise the sacredness of the ancient culture, and cannot recognise the supreme truth that lies within himself. He installs statues of great souls in many places in the town, but pays no heed at all to their teachings. It is not enough to install those sacred forms outside; one must keep them safe on the seat of one's heart and put their teachings into practice. To what age did Kaṇāda belong? Twenty thousand years ago the teaching of this Kaṇāda spread far and wide in the world. Even in those days Kaṇāda recognised the nature of oxygen and hydrogen that today's scientists have found out. But people put their faith in the words of scientists and forget the true sayings that the ancient ṛṣis lived, enjoyed and handed on. Kaṇāda taught that divinity can be recognised through the atom itself. The atom cannot be seen by the eye. But it is in the food we eat; it is in our looking; it is in the words we speak; it is in the steps we take. Everywhere there is nothing but the atom. We walk on nothing but the atom, eat the atom, drink it, experience the very principle of the atom, and yet we forget it. Thinking that atomic research concerns scientists alone, we set it aside.
