If it be said that the individual selves are notatomic in size, on account of the scriptural statement of what is not that ; we say no, on account of the other's being in the topic.
The individual selves are not atomic in size ; because there is the scriptural text, ' Verily He is infinite, unborm Self' (Brh. IV-4-22). This is not so, because the context refers to the Highest Self. This is seen in the text, ' By whom this Self is understood and meditated ' (Brh. VI-4-13).

And on account of the use of the word referring to him and his measurement. The word ' atomic ' is used in the scriptural text, ' This self of atomic size ' (Mund. III-1-9). In another text the self is described thus– ' He is of the size of the point of a goad or even subtler than it ' (Sve. V-9). Hence the self is atomic in size
