According to Shri Dutt, the red particles are the least energetic. Modern science also accepts this. When a sun ray passes through a prism, it is divided into seven colours and the colour spectrum, that is formed, the red rays - particles have least frequency and the violet rays/particles have the highest frequency. And according to the law of physics, the higher the frequency of rays/particles, the higher the energy of rays/particles. Rays with a low frequency than the frequency of red light i.e. electromagnetic waves having low frequency cannot be grasped by our eyes. They are called infra-red rays. Similarly, rays with a higher frequency than the frequency of violet rays or electromagnetic waves are called ultraviolet rays and they can also be not grasped by our eyes.
Shri Dutt says that between non-living things and living things, there is an intermediate state of things. The non-living body after the death ; flowers and leaves fallen from trees and plants belong to this state. They first emit blue, then yellow and then red particles and then they dacay.
Regarding food of monks and nuns of the Svetambar idolatrous sect, there is a rule that they can accept ripe fruits etc. after 48 minutes after they have been cut and juice has been extracted from them. Shri Dutt's experiences described above, reveal the secret of this rule. Generally, we believe that ripe fruits become lifeless soon after they have been cut. But as long as all the blue particles have not been emitted, they are probably alive and during emission of yellow particles, they are lifeless but they do not contain bacteria. But baecteria have already entered them when red particles are emitted. That is why fruits are fit to be accepted by monks and nuns only when they are in the intermediate state between the two states.
Moreover, in cold places also, blue particles are more quantitative. The refrigerator is the best illustration of this. That is why fruits etc. in a refrigerator or in such places, remain fresh for a long time. They can remain alive there. In heat all fruits etc. decay and are soiled soon because in heat they quickly emit energy - particles. There are records of instances which show that dead bodies of human beings and animals buried under snow have remained fresh for thousands of years. That also substantiates this fact.
Shri Dutt says from his experience that in nature, i.e. in places of natural beauty such as green vegetation, ponds, wells, river - banks etc., there are abundant blue particles near the bottom of the earth. Trees, palnts etc. emits blue particles in the morning hours. They emit yellow and blue particles during the day time and at night they emit red particles and absorbs blue particles. They grasp red particles in the morning. Students of science generally know that during Arhat Vacana, July 2000
