Namaskar,
You know, there are three types of microvita:
- First type of microvita;
- Second type of microvita;
- Third type of microvita.
Can only be realized by highly spiritual sadhakas
According to Ananda Marga philosophy, the third type of microvita is not conceivable by ordinary human beings. Only those who are very highly evolved spiritual personalities can perceive the third type of microvita. That is, those evolved persons who are very elevated by the practice of spiritual sadhana can perceive that third type of microvita. Those who cannot manage sadhana will not have any clue about the third type of microvita. See Baba’s teaching below in red font.

Baba says, [The third type of microvita] "may be felt or realized by persons having highly developed minds, having spiritually oriented minds." [for full quote see note-2]
Baba says only great spiritualists can realize this third type of microvita (see above red quote). And now see below, in his book Dada B is telling just the opposite of what Baba says. Dada B says that the third type of microvita can be realized by crude scientists etc. See the following yellow text, which Dada B wrote in his book.
Example of Dada B’s misunderstanding
Dada writes,
- “While explaining microvita in 1988, Baba said that the third type of microvita can be perceived only through "special perception"....I contemplated this for several days and finally realized its meaning in an intuitive flash. I also understood what was meant by a "conceptually developed mind". The following examples illustrate my understanding.”
- “These
scientists had conceptually developed minds since they were
assimilating tremendous amounts of diverse data in their mental arena.
Their dreams were a reflection of their concepts. Dreams come within the
realm of perception. So the answer to their problems came as a
reflection of conception within the periphery of perception.” [for full qt see note-1]

Conclusion
In His microvita discourse, Baba says the subtlest microvita can only be perceived by great spiritualists (see above red quote). Ordinary or mediocre sadhakas cannot realize this subtlest microvita, let alone a crude atheist, material scientist. But Dada B says the exact opposite. That is why Baba warns common Margiis about such Dadas because these types of Dadas misguide innocent margiis and wts. So watch out.

Note 1: Misguided section of Dada B’s book
Please see below the long version of what Dada B has written:
While explaining microvita in 1988, Baba said that the third type of microvita can be perceived only through "special perception". He said that "special perception" is nothing but "the reflection of conception within the periphery of perception." I contemplated this for several days and finally realized its meaning in an intuitive flash. I also understood what was meant by a "conceptually developed mind". The following examples illustrate my understanding.
The Russian chemist Mendelev described how he developed the periodic table. He thought that there must be some relationship between the chemical elements and he spent sleepless nights puzzling over it. Ultimately he saw, in a dream, the whole periodic table and wrote it down immediately upon awakening.
The scientist Kekule discovered the structure of carbon compounds like benzene. His solutions also came in a dream. Once, while sitting by the fire in the evening after toiling for several hours with models of long chain carbon compounds, he became drowsy. In his half sleep, he saw the chains turn into twisting and turning snakes. When one of the snakes suddenly seized its own tail and formed a ring, the idea of a cyclic structure came to the great mind.
These scientists had conceptually developed minds since they were assimilating tremendous amounts of diverse data in their mental arena. Their dreams were a reflection of their concepts. Dreams come within the realm of perception. So the answer to their problems came as a reflection of conception within the periphery of perception. (Glimpses of a Mystery. Dada B)
Note 2: Section from Baba’s microvita discourse
Please see below the long version of what Baba has told:
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Now, these microvita are not of the same density or the same subtlety. Some of them [[may]] come within the range of a highly developed microscope; and some of them may not come within the range of a microscope, but by their actional expression or through their actional faculty or as a result of their actional vibrations, they may come within the scope of our perception. They are of subtler order. There may be still more subtle forms of microvita which may not come directly within the scope of our perception but may come within the scope of a special type of perception which is actually the reflection of conception within the range of perception in a limited sphere.”
“So these microvita may be broadly divided into three categories – first, those coming within the scope of [[a microscope]]; secondly, those not coming within the scope of a microscope but coming within the scope of perception as a result of their expression, as a result of their actional vibration; and thirdly, those not coming within the scope of common perception but coming within the scope of a special type of perception which is actually the reflection of conception within the periphery of perception. Such perception – that special type of perception – may be felt or realized by persons having highly developed minds, having spiritually oriented minds.” (1)

True meaning of surrender
Some think surrender means doing nothing and depending on God. How far is this correct?
Answer: It is not correct. In the following teaching Baba has given the explanation.
"Párthasárathi says, Má karmaphalaheturbhúmá te saungostvakarmańi
[“You must not do actions that will bind you, but you must not be averse
to action, either”]. Do your duty, your karma. Now, is this karma in
conformity with prapatti or is it antagonistic to prapatti? The
teachings of Vraja Krśńa are clearly consistent with prapatti. His
existence, His actions, the music of His flute, the way in which He
attracts people and gives them shelter – all these are in perfect
harmony with prapatti, because an individual feels free after
surrendering everything to the Macrocosmic Entity. Here Párthasárathi
says, “Do your karma, for you have an inalienable right to your karma.”
Karma is defined as Karma Brahmeti karma bahu kurviita – “You are human.
Simply look upon karma as a veritable expression of Brahma [Supreme
Entity] and do as much karma as you can.”
"Is this in agreement
with prapatti or at variance with prapatti? It seems to be opposed to
prapatti but in actuality it is not. If we go deeper into the subject,
we see that this quinquelemental body, this body of flesh and bones,
this mind made of ectoplasmic stuff, this reflecting plate that acts as
the witnessing entity (known as átman or puruśa in philosophy) – all
these have their origin in Parama Puruśa. It is the Cosmic desire that
is the source of the creation of the human body, mind and soul. If we
utilize this body, mind and jiivátmá [soul, self, unit consciousness],
we are only following the path of prapatti. That is, we are utilizing
the things given to us by Parama Puruśa. All these things, the body,
mind and self, are His gifts. Had He willed otherwise, they would not
have existed. Without Cosmic desire, nothing can exist, nothing can
move, not even a blade of grass. So in accordance with the spirit of
prapatti, that the body is a machine, we can say that He has been kind
enough to provide the body and mind, to be utilized for work only. Hence
I follow the spirit of prapatti in using them."
"In the
beginning, karma seemed to be against prapatti, but karma is not
antithetical to prapatti. It is definitely in conformity with prapatti.
So a boy or a girl who does work is surely following the path of
prapatti. Even if there is any room for indolence while enjoying the
flute of Vraja Krśńa, there is not the least room for inaction in the
clarion call of the karma yoga of Párthasárathi Krśńa." (1)

Prout’s social cycle
Prout philosophy states, “The samája cakra [social cycle] moves on. After the Shúdra Age [the age of manual workers] comes the age of warriors – that is, the Kśatriya Age; next comes the Vipra Age [the age of intellectuals]; then the Vaeshya Age [the age of capitalists]; and then, after shúdra revolution, in the second parikránti [peripheric evolution] of the social cycle, comes a new Kśatriya Age – the age of the kśatriyas who led the shúdra revolution. The social cycle moves on in this manner. By merely espousing idealism, its rotation cannot be checked."
"One age follows another in succession. The end of one age and the advent of another can be called kránti [evolution]. The period of transition at the end of one age and at the beginning of another can be called yuga saḿkránti [transitional age]. And we can call one full rotation of the social cycle – that is, from one shúdra revolution to the next shúdra revolution – parikránti. In every age a particular varńa [social class] emerges, both as ruler and as exploiter." (1)

Key facet for building a society
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "What is society, what makes it up? What is Samaj?" 'Samanam ejati iti samajah...'Here 'moving together' does not mean march or double march, here 'moving together' means that all portions of society, all portions of the collective body, should have the spirit to move ahead." (1)
Note: In His above teaching Baba guides us that the term society has a specific meaning. Society is not simply a collection of people like a crowd - each with their own individual aims and motives. Nor is society, any group of people moving swiftly in a particular direction. Rather, society is formed when the entire collective moves according to an ideological vision, where none lag behind and all are encouraged to progress.
