The discovery shows that every atom and every molecule
in nature is a continuous radio broadcasting station.
. . . Thus even after death the substance that
was a man continues to send out its delicate rays.
The wave lengths of these rays range from shorter
than anything now used in broadcasting to the longest
kind of radio waves. The jumble of these rays
is almost inconceivable. There are millions of
them. A single very large molecule may give off
1,000,000 different wave lengths at the same time.
The longer wave lengths of this sort travel with the
ease and speed of radio waves. . . . There is
one amazing difference between the new radio rays
and familiar rays like light. This is the prolonged
time, amounting to thousands of years, which these
radio waves will keep on emitting from undisturbed
matter.”
{FN15-3} One hesitates to use “intuition”;
Hitler has almost ruined the word along with more
ambitious devastations. The Latin root meaning
of intuition is “inner protection.”
The Sanskrit word Agama means intuitional knowledge
born of direct soul-perception; hence certain ancient
treatises by the rishis were called AGAMAS.
{FN15-4} sat is literally “being,”
hence “essence; reality.” Sanga
is “association.” Sri Yukteswar called
his hermitage organization sat-Sanga, “fellowship
with truth.”
{FN15-5} “If therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light."-Matthew
6:22. During deep meditation, the single or spiritual
eye becomes visible within the central part of the
forehead. This omniscient eye is variously referred
to in scriptures as the third eye, the star of the
East, the inner eye, the dove descending from heaven,
the eye of Shiva, the eye of intuition, etc.
{FN15-6} “He that planted the ear, shall he
not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
. . . he that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not
know?"-Psalm 94:9-10.
{FN15-7} Folklore of all peoples contains references
to incantations with power over nature. The American
Indians are well-known to have developed sound rituals
for rain and wind. Tan Sen, the great Hindu musician,
was able to quench fire by the power of his song.
Charles Kellogg, the California naturalist, gave a
demonstration of the effect of tonal vibration on
fire in 1926 before a group of New York firemen.
“Passing a bow, like an enlarged violin bow,
swiftly across an aluminum tuning fork, he produced
a screech like intense radio static. Instantly
the yellow gas flame, two feet high, leaping inside
a hollow glass tube, subsided to a height of six inches
and became a sputtering blue flare. Another attempt
with the bow, and another screech of vibration, extinguished
it.”

“Mukunda, why don’t you get an astrological
armlet?”
“Should I, Master? I don’t believe
in astrology.”
