away from Rasalpur. Hence, it was so arranged that his meals were prepared by a local Brahmin woman. About a year and half went by in this manner, when Pandit Ravidutt, a teacher from Vehadi came to Rasalpur. Jasbir instantly recognised him and engaged him in conversation about the family of Shankerlal Tyagi and other folks of Vehadi with great ease and intimacy which surprised everyone. Jasbir was then taken to Vehadi where he could identify quite a few local inhabitants. With one thing leading to another, it soon became apparent that there was extraordinary coincidence of timing between the bizarre resurrection and transfiguration of character in Jasbir and the accidental death of Shankarlal's youthful sonsuggesting as if that the spirit finding the mutilated body unsuitable for its abode, discarded it and transmigrated into recently vacated form of Jasbir.
Consciousness-body interrelationship; a modern simile Those unfamiliar with the spiritual concept but wellacquainted with modern scientific terminology would be able to grasp the interrelationship between the soul and the body through an analogy of a TV set and the high-frequency electromagnetic waves that are employed to relay a telecast. In order to locate the origin of audio-visual signals that make the TV set come 'alive', even if one takes the whole set apart, what would one find there ? Various modules, tubes and transformers contained therein do contribute towards functioning of the set, but the energy waves that generate the audio-visual signals are surely different from the parts of the TV set. It is the highfrequency waves of the telecast that produce their effect on the TV screen without betraying their presence. In their absence, even the most powerful set cannot bring on any picture or sound. These high-frequency waves are invisible to us and we do not have any special sense-organ to perceive them. Yet, when they enter the TV set, their presence becomes evident to us.Similarly, the soul is beyond the range of our perceptive sense-organs but when it enters the body - like high-frequency TV waves entering a TV set - we can perceive
