the whole universe without leaving the original body.
All systems of Indian philosophy regard soul as potentially divine and the seven forms of samudghāta described above give an idea of the latent capacities of the soul, but one thing which human mind fails to grasp is “how can a substance without parts expand and contract like this?"
The great mathematician Professor Max Born, in his work "The restless Universe" has told a fairy tale on page 240 in which a gnome presents a boy with a money-box in the form of an earthen ware-ball hermetically closed on all sides. The boy moves about, shaking the ball all the time and at random moments a gold piece jumps out of the solid ball, although there is not even a trace of hole in it.
Prof. Max Born adds the following in conclusion : "For what we have just described as happening in a fairy tale, pieces of solid matter moving through solid walls does actually happen when nucleii emit alpha-particles.” It is worthy of notice that even in this highly rationalistic age of Science such apparent absurdities find a passport. The reason is that the facts cannot be overlooked, whether we are able or not able to offer a rational explanation for them. For instance, in the issue of "Armchair Science" (London) for December 1937 we read of ‘men who see without eyes.' After describing the case of Ouvrieu, the writer says, “There is not the least doubt of the facts of this case, as they are supported by the testimony of noted specialists..." and adds that "these phenomenal powers are indeed seldom capable of rational explanation." Next he quotes the case of the famous clairvoyant Kele, who has during the last seven years detected several cases of would-be suicides and per-miditated murders. "He possesses an inexplicable faculty for knowledge and psychiatrists, while compelled on the evidence to accept the facts, are totally at a loss to offer any convincing explanation.” Many such instances can be multiplied. However in the present case there is one ocular evidence.
The protoplasm, with which biologists associate the phenomena of life, possesses a remarkable property of contraction under stimulus electrical or otherwise. It can be easily seen with the eyes as demonstrated in the famous experiments of Sir J.C. Bose, F.R.S. Contraction of protoplasm means contraction of living substance, the soul, showing thereby that the
