Brahmajyoti is just the atomic spiritual combination of atomic spiritual portions. That is brahma-jyotir. Just like the sun rays. Those who are scientists, those who know what is the sun ray... The sun ray is a small molecular, glazing atom, the sun ray. You have got experience of sun ray, but what is the sun ray? It is not homogeneous. It is heterogeneous. When you can analyze the sun ray, you'll find small particles of molecules. Similarly, brahma-jyotir is also spiritual atoms combined together. Just like the sun rays, different material molecules combined together, similarly, brahma-jyotir is also like that. Now as in the sun rays there are different planets—they are also generated from the sun rays—similarly, from the brahma-jyotir there are different planets, but those planets we cannot see here. That is beyond this sky. So in that planets, spiritual planets, there are different forms of God, Kṛṣṇa.

The other day I explained and several times that atom is also described in the ''Padma-Purāṇa'', Vedic literature. And what is the form of that spiritual energy, I mean to say, atom, spiritual atom? It is ten-thousandth part of the upper portion of the hair. You have got experience up to the upper portion of the hair. It is just a little point. Now divide it into ten thousand part, and that one part is yourself, spiritual atom. This is our position. And that spiritual energy is so powerful that we, from that one ten-thousandth part of the upper portion of the hair . . . 

It is not manufactured. So far what I am speaking to you, it is from authentic ''śāstras''. The original verse is that:

:''keśāgra-śata-bhāgasya''
:''śatadhā kalpitasya ca''
:''jīva-bhāgaḥ sa vijñeyaḥ''
:''sa anantyāya kalpate''
:(''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 5.9)

The exact verse is, in Sanskrit, that ''jīva'', the living entities, they are ''ananta''. ''Ananta'' means there is no limit how many there are. ''Ananta'', unlimited. Unlimited. And a small. Just like in the material world also, you will find unlimited atomic existence, similarly, in the spiritual also, there are unlimited spiritual atoms. And one of the atom is myself and yourself or the ant or the elephant. Everyone is containing that atomic portion of spiritual energy. And from that atomic spiritual energy develops this material body—from that spiritual.

The matter cannot develop. Matter cannot develop. That you have got experience. A dead body does not develop. A living body develops. A child, when it comes out of the mother's womb, if the child is dead, oh, there is no further development, however you can keep the child in a very antiseptic way preserved. No. There is no development. Therefore it is concluded that the supreme spirit, Kṛṣṇa, from Him everything has come out. Everything has come out. Any stage you take, that is Kṛṣṇa.

And whenever I surrender . . . because my position is to surrender. I am spiritual, that atom, however big body I can develop. I can develop the body like an elephant, but the elephant is conducted under the direction of a man. You know? Such a big animal is controlled by a small boy of human being. So everyone is under control. We cannot deny that. So we have to . . . we are under control of different dimension of that spiritual energy covered by material energy. But the real control is from Kṛṣṇa. That we have to understand, either we follow this path or that path.

Now, suppose there are impersonalist who believe in the ultimate, I mean to say, merging into the supreme effulgence, ''brahma-jyoti''. And what is that ''brahma-jyoti''? ''Brahma-jyoti'' is just the atomic spiritual combination of atomic spiritual portions. That is ''brahma-jyoti''. Just like the sun ray. Those who are scientists, those who know what is the sun ray.

The sun ray is a small molecular, glazing atoms, the sun ray. You have got experience of sun ray, but what is the sun ray? It is not homogeneous. It is heterogeneous. When you can analyze the sun ray, you'll find small particles of molecules. Similarly, ''brahma-jyoti'' is also spiritual atoms combined together. Just like the sun rays, different material molecules combined together, similarly, ''brahma-jyoti'' is also like that.

Now, as in the sun rays there are different planets—they are also generated from the sun ray—similarly, from the ''brahma-jyoti'' there are different planets. But those planets we cannot see here. That is beyond this sky. So in that planets, and the spiritual planets, there are different forms of God, Kṛṣṇa. That is described in the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'':

:''advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam''
:''ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣaṁ nava-yauvanaṁ ca''
:''vedeṣu durlabham adurlabham ātma-bhaktau''
:''govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''
:([[Vanisource:BS 5.33|BS 5.33]])

Just like Kṛṣṇa has expanded Himself with these molecular atomic portions of these living entities, similarly, He has got many other expansions as Viṣṇu. So that is the nice subject matter.
