Spirituality affirms that even in the microcosm there is the macrocosm.
anor aniyan mahato mahiyan
atmasya jantor nihito guhayam
tam akratuh pasyati vita-soko
dhatuh prasadan mahimanam atmanah
(Katha 1.2.20)
‘Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan,’ proclaims the Veda (The Divine is minuter than the atom and vaster than the vast cosmos). A small seed planted in the ground grows into a vast banyan tree. The power of growing into a huge tree, with branches, leaves, flowers and fruit is immanent in the small seed. (SSS Vol.24)
God is described in our scriptures as Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan — smaller than the smallest, bigger than the biggest. The universe is really a reflection of the same forces present in an atom. Without the combination of atoms, the universe cannot exist. The principle that is present in all is Divinity alone. (SSB 1995, p. 200)
