Letters of Srila Prabhupada.
(Preaching to Scientists and Evolutionists.)

67-08 "There is a nice example in the waning of the moon. To us the moon appears to be changing, but in fact the moon is always the same." (SPL to Jananivasa dasa, 27th August, 1967)


68-01 "Yes, anything of which we have no conception, the unknown particle, that is the representation of Paramatma. Yes, your interpretation is quite feasible, because from the Vedic literature that spiritual particle is measured as l/10,000th part of the upper portion of the hair. So if the physicist's conclusion about the measurement of the soul, that is already 100 times finer than what they are already discovered. But however fine and smallest it may be, there is measurement of spirit soul, maybe beyond the knowledge of human scientists. The confusion must continue because this measurement of spirit soul is beyond the range of experimental mind, and understanding. Therefore, confusion. Therefore, you have to accept the

experience of spirit soul from Vedic literature. If one tries to understand otherwise, they will remain in confusion. Subjects which are beyond their understanding by experimental knowledge, and if they try to understand it by the same experimental knowledge, that means confusion. This has to be understood by the descending process of disciplic succession, or by deductive process, meaning for instance, my mother says this man is my father, I accept, there is no experience. Gods name is therefore Adhoksaja which means beyond experimental knowledge. You can inform them that there is a statement in Vedic literature (Padma Purana) that the measurement of the soul is l/10,000th of the upper portion of the hair. You are meant for doing this and I shall assist you as far as possible. I thank you for your promise to send me one letter a week." (SPL to Janardana, 21st January, 1968)
