Srila Jiva Goswami, one of the greatest Vedic scholars, said ..”we are trying to bring perfection to imperfection..”

Ultimately, you could say atoms elements and compounds are an offering made by the material energies, they are so made by Divinity,  and reluctantly given by Him , reluctant ,  because the the living beings are attempting to bring  a perfection in their lives , but in an atmosphere that is not suitable , because atoms , elements and compounds can never satisfy our inner consciousnesss needs .What is that need , blissful, happy lives , and relationships that are increasingly rewarding , youthful or child like enthusiasm can be seen everywhere. It’s a kind of reflection of perfection . Ultimately, every theologically driven culture warns of the original pure consciousness  entanglements  in the material world,  and they provide analysis of the problems and offer solutions.  Entanglements in karmic activities and cyclic synchronicities can be very difficult to shift . Jiva Goswami indicates this in his Bhagavat Sandarbha….
The living beings conditioned concept of becoming an enjoyer of a substance that is ultimately alien to him is like the will of the wisp , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada  said . Those fast moving atoms, elements and compounds and  particular subtle mind with given intellect are awarded within a  stipulated space and stipulated time to the  individual consciousness particle ,but they can not stay .The atoms are vibrating and producing  forms that appear as permanent reality , with a varigatedness that is indeed full of wonder , and no wonder , this is a reflection of a spiritual reality but here the essence of the pure heart is missing.
