Anti-Material Particle Lecture at Tallinn University
The actual self is not material. It is a particle of indivisible, indestructible, infinitesimal anti-material energy. The modern day scientists have discovered anti-matter. But their knowledge of it is imperfect and incomplete. Their conception is that when matter and anti-matter come together they cancel each other out. They do not realize the indestructible nature of anti-matter. Therefore to try to help alleviate this knowledge gap in modern day science I gave a lecture on the anti-material particle on 7 November 2013 at Tallinn University in Tallinn, Estonia. My lecture was well received by an auditorium full of students. They asked many nice questions, and many purchased our books also. At the conclusion of the program I was interviewed for television regarding the anti-material particle.

Srila Prabhupada states in his book "Perfect Questions and Perfect Answers" that a screw which has fallen from the machine is useless. The screw refers to us. We are not attached to Krishna and are therefore useless. But at the same time from another angle, the machine is also of no use even if a single screw is not attached to it. Does this mean that Krishna is also incomplete without us?

"The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance."
But yet, He also feels incomplete when we are separated from Him just like a father whose children have run away from Home. Therefore He comes regularly to this world of the runways to induce us to return back to home, back to Godhead.

Question: Is Krishna Incomplete Without Us?
My dear Gurudeva,Srila Prabhupada states in his book "Perfect Questions and Perfect Answers" that a screw which has fallen from the machine is useless. The screw refers to us. We are not attached to Krishna and are therefore useless. But at the same time from another angle, the machine is also of no use even if a single screw is not attached to it. Does this mean that Krishna is also incomplete without us?

Answer: No, But Yet He Feels Incomplete
It is we, not Krishna, who experience incompleteness when we abandon His service. Krishna's position of completeness is confirmed as follows in the Sri Isopanisad invocation mantra:oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate
