14. At what rate of speed does the moon rotate and revolve?
15. The sun with its family of the planets of the solar system revolves very speedily towards one other planet or point. What is that point? At what rate of speed does the sun rotate?
JAMBOODWEEP
What is the purpose of saying "With its family of the planets of the solar system"? 16. What proofs are there for the rotation or revolving of the sun?
17. What is the proof to support the statement that the earth is inclined at an angle of 23 degrees from its axis when it goes round the sun?
18. How was this angle of 23 degrees formed between the earth and its axis? How is it that it has remained unchanged so far? What are the forces that control it?
19. If the earth rotates so speedily, must not the winds blow so violently? And that too from the West to the East?
20. The moon rotates on its axis, and the earth also rotates on its axis. Then how is it that the same one portion of the moon always appears before us?
21. The orbit of the earth round the sun runs over 57 crores of miles; and that much distance is covered by the earth within 365 days. Then according to the arithmetical rule of the three we have to believe the rate of the earth along its orbit to be 15,61,644 miles per day; 65,069 miles per hour; 1084 miles per minute; and 18 miles per second. Is this to be presumed even in the present times?

Jnan and Vijnan
Jnan is the base of vijnan. When Jnan is made the base of vijnan, man is saved from the harmful consequences of vijnan, but gets all its benifits. If you relate and integrate all variety with some unity, Jnan will properly regulate vijnan in such a manner that the vijnan which cause mortality, will lead to unitary immortality. Only when vijnan is seperated from Jnan then it becomes harmful. In Other words knowlege must be at the base of science. A science deprived of and bifurcated from knowledge causes disaster, and perhaps the sufferings and anxiety of the world today are due to the fact that there is no "knowlegde" to regulate science. The two have become bifurcated.
