Scientific Secrets of Jainism
which is uninhibited by the opposite sex or a eunuch or a beast etc. This rule is very important and full of scientific secrets.
Every living being has electricity of a very subtle power. In the sea, there is a fish named electric eel.“ It produces a powerful electric current. Where there is elctric power, there is magnetic power. Thus we all have bio-electromagnetic power. Therefore, every living being has his bio-electro-magnetic field. Scientists have proved this. It is a general rule of magnetism that like poles repel and unlike poles attract, if they are within the magnetic field of each other.
Men and women have their bio-elctro-magnetic poles in the opposite order. Eunuchs can also have their magnetic poles, but in my opinion, they are not definite because magnetic poles depend on changes in mind, i.e. thoughts. When an eunuch's mind changes, its magnetic poles also change. The sexual excitement of eunuchs is great, and therfore, their magnetic power and magnetic field are very strong. Changes of poles go on in eunuchs, like an alternate current of electricity. If, therefore, a monk lives in a place inhabited by a woman, a beast or an eunuch, on account of attraction of unlike poles, it becomes very difficult for him to observe celibacy. In order to observe celibacy fully, it is necessary for a monk to stay in a place uninhabited by a woman, an eunuch or a beast.
The second rule of celibacy is that a lonely monk should not tell religious stories to lonely women and a man should avoid talking about a woman and a woman should avoid talking about a man.
When a lonely man talks to a lonely woman, generally the woman looks at the man and the man looks at the woman. Since the bio-elctro-magnetic poles of a man and a woman are in the opposite order, when they look at each other, the elctro-magnetic lines emerging from their poles, join together and as their electro-magnetic fields join together, their bio-electromagnetic attraction becomes stronger. In these circumstances, if their electromagnetic waves are of unequal frequency, their mutual attraction also becomes unequal. If the wavelength and the amplitude are not proportionate, the thoughts in their minds mutually differ from each other. As a result, the circuit of magnetic-electric current remains incomplete. But if the electro-magnetic waves emerging from them have equal frequency, their power of attraction also becomes equal. If the wavelength and amplitude of the
