GUIDELINES FOR AROUSING ENERGY
The modern age has set new records in surgery. A lot of scientific research has been done by dissecting and vivisecting the bodies of animals and plants which had never been done before. Some such research might have been done in the past also, but its records are not available. Surgeons have cut open each and every part of the body and have examined and known it. Nothing about the body is anymore unknown. After a very minute examination of it they have not come across anything in the body except its parts.
In ancient time Prince Pradesi conducted some research in connection with the soul. He wanted to perceive the soul directly. He weighed the living body and again weighed it when it was dead. He did so in order to ascertain the weight of the soul. Modern scientists have also done something like this with the help of very delicate instruments. These experiments have changed some of the old notions to some extent. Pradesi had no surgical instruments with him. He could not arrive at any conclusion.
He conducted another experiment. He cut the human body into pieces. He thought that if there were anything like a soul in the body, it will escape from one of the pieces. He went on watching the pieces, but nothing which he had expected happened.
Experiments had been done in the past and they are being done now also. But the question- 'whether there is a soul in the human body' - still remains unanswered. Does the soul have weight? Is it visible or does it remain invisible? These questions have yet to be answered. The Kirliyans of the Soviet Union took photographs of the aura or halo surrounding the human body, The aura is not visible with the eye.
