The latter is quite distinct from the former. By reason of the pervasive nature of <em>\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, it is exceedingly subtle[2. The idea is the subtle always <em>penetrates<\/em>, the gross is <em>penetrated<\/em>. Light penetrates glass. Glass may get broken, but it never can destroy light. As glass is to light, so body is to \u0101tm\u0101.], and is incapable of perishment. Nothing which is of a different kind or of dissimilar nature from it (<em>\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>) is capable of destroying it (<em>\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>), for it (the other thing) is the <em>pervaded<\/em>, by (the <em>pervading<\/em>) <em>\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, and is grosser than <em>\u0101tm\u0101<\/em> (which is subtle).

Therefore), the club when used with force and the thing is struck, what happens is that rapid vibration is produced in the air-particles, which, entering into the thing, produces molecular disruption[3. We know of loud noises, like the thunder-clap, shattering glass panes. A loud noise is a sound, a sound is but a rapid commotion and agitation set up among the air-particles, which strike each other and produce the sound.].
