________________ 67 bomb, photography and many such other things which existed in our shastras of old, are now put before the world by means of science. Modern scientific knowledge is not yet complete and therefore, fresh and new re searches are still carried on every day and the scientists have to change their views on and often. Is it not a great blunder to rely upon persons with such incomplete and truncated knowledge? Captain Scorsby has with the help of a very powerful microscope shown that there are thirty-six thousand four hundred and fifty (36,450) living organisms in one drop of water. Our teachers have taught us that in addition to the moving organisms there are innumerable immobile or stagnant organisms also in a single drop of water. But how can this come within the ken of our limited knowledge? Modern doctors also have been propounding that in a small space of the size of a pea there are innumerable T. B. germs. While the omniscients had declared that there is an infinite number of lives in the space of the size of even a needle point. What a wonderful knowledge they possess Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
