14. What is that which being no more than an atom, fills a space of many leagues; and who is an atomic particle; that is not contained (measured) in many miles? (It is the atomic theism of Kanáda’s Vaiseshika system and of Ecphantus and Archelaus. The mind is included in the atomism of Empedocles and Anaxagoras. Epicurus added morality to it, and Lucretius added to it the beauty of poetry also. See also the Ateistic Atomic systems of Leucippus and Democritus).
15. At whose glance and nod is it, that all beings act their parts as players; and what is that ace which contains in its bosom many a mountain chain? (The mountain was produced from and is contained in the atom of the divine mind; and so every grain of the human brain, contains in it the form of a prodigious mountain).
16. Who is it, that is bigger than the mount Meru in his minuteness; and who is it that being, lesser than the point of a hair, is yet higher than the highest rock? (So the sruti: Anor-aniyán mahato mahiyán: i.e. Minuter than the minutest and bigger than the biggest).
17. Whose light was it, that brought out the lamp of light from the bosom of darkness; and what minute particle is it, that contains the minutiae of ideas ad infinitum in it? (God said “Lux fiat et lux fit.” Genesis. Hail holy light Heaven’s first born. Milton. Eternal ideas of immaterial forms of possible existences in the Divine Mind, the archetype of the ectypal world. These are the Types of things, Plato; Forms of ditto. Cicero. Eternal exemplars of things. Seneca &c.).
18. Which having no flavour in it, gives savour to all things; and whose presence being withdrawn from all substances, reduces them to infinitesimal atoms, (i.e. by destruction of cohesion. So the Sruti.—Raso vai tat.—He is flavour etc. Attraction of all kinds, is a manifestation of Divine power—ákrishti, personified in the form of Krishna—the regent of the sun, whose gravity supports the solar world).
19. Who is it that by his self-pervasion, connects the particles composing the world (as by their power of attraction); and what imperceptible power is it, that rejoins the detached particles, after their separation and dissolution for recreation of the new world? (The atomic powers of attraction and repulsion of particles and bodies).
20. Who being formless, has a thousand hands and eyes; and a twinkling of whose eye, comprehends the period of many cycles together? (The divine hypostases of Viráj, is endowed with a thousand hands and eyes, as in the Purusha Súkta: Sahasra sirsha, sahasra váhu sahasráxa &c.).
21. In what microscopic mite does the world subsist as an arbor in its seed, and by what power do the unproductive seeds of atoms, become productive of worlds?
22. Whose glance is it, that causes the production of the world, as from its seed; and who is it that creates the world without any motive or material? (The motives are the subjective or internal cause and the objective or external objects of creation. And material means the matter of unisubstantism of materialists).
23. What is that being, who without his visual organs, enjoys the pleasure of seeing—Drishti; and is the viewer—drashtá of Himself, which he makes the object of his view (drishya). i.e. God sees all things in himself as the receptacle of all in the eternal ideas of them in his mind. Or. The Ego meditates on itself both subjectively as the viewer, and objectively as the view. (So Milton, “And God saw his works were good” answering his fair idea).
