this talent by practicing the occult science of penance and mental training. Such human soul, Bhavitatma, can utilize the Sukshma pudgals (micro matter and particles) to construct various body forms.
In practicing this morphology, a Bhavitatma can - i. Clone thousands of look alike objects,
Over power another bio and direct it to act according to his wishes and commands, like in the cases of hypnotization,
Create the jugglery of morphing multiple shapes of deception. Utilizing the infinite micro particles which are readily available in the universe, the magic of morphing either a male or a female shape, or that of any object like, sword, shield, flag etc.
This is an interesting world of Shukshma pudgals. Mention of seven possible ways through which the soul of a bio can expand suddenly (Samudghat) is available in Jain mythology. These are - Vedna, Kashaya, Marnantik, Vaikriya, Tejas, Aharak and Kevali. Out of these seven modes of soul's expansion, Vaikriya Samudghat is attributed to the process of morphing and cloning. Its methodology can be understood in four steps -
Step I - Soul has innumberable Pradesh. To accomplish the formation of desired shape, bio exercises Vaikriya expansion, in which some Pradesh of soul are deployed outside the body. Since remaining Pradesh of soul keeps on residing with the parent body, bio can still function normally with its Audarik Sharir - human body.
Step II - Excreted Pradesh of soul now form a temporary shape, typically known as "Dand'. This shape helps to execute the third step.
Step III - 'Dand' now refines the available Shukshma pudgals available all around. This process of refinement segregates the useful pudgals, typically named as Ratnas (jewels), from the lot.
Step IV - The useful dions and quadons now available in concentrated form are moulded in the desired shape by the second bout of Vaikriya activity.
Mahapragya, as habitual to bring in scientific aspects, has compared this phenomenon with the properties of Laser beams by which several shapes can projected. A very recent experiment has revealed that any object can be made invisible by use of microwave radiations. We know that any object is visible due to light falling on it and reflecting up to the eyes. In this reported experiment,
