The Divine Mother is the subtlest particle.
She is subtler than subtle, microlevel. With being the Supreme, the Divine Mother can also be subtlest, micro level. She is far away from what we can visualize. For anything, a small picture projects all its aspects. Universe wide, the Divine Mother is also found to be in micro level by recent physical science studies. What we can understand here is that Supreme, the Divine Mother, can be in any form, doing any action. Being Supreme cannot be held in micro level beings alone. Akasha is very widely spread; being spread all over does not affect Akasha. Paramanu, any subtle particle cannot be other than the Divine Mother. She is the basis for all universal things. Also, Paramanu, a mantra, when recited nonstop by a devotee can elevate him to Brahman. When we visualize the Divine Mother in micro-form, all our Cit improvements are increased. The soul becomes the Brahman. By devotional effect, the soul can merge with the Divine Mother, the Supreme Brahman.
Anu is at the atomic level. The Divine Mother is subtler than the anu. She is in the most exalted mantra form.
The statement in the Sruti, “Subtler than the subtle. (anor aneeyan) ”
A very well-known Katha Upanishad; l.ii.20 says that the Divine Mother can be reached only through great effort. Anu also means a ‘mantra’. Thus, giving the meaning, “She, who is in the form of the most exalted mantra.”
