In English
There is an example for this. This is a flower, and it drops down, if I let it go. What is responsible for its falling? It comes down because the earth has the power to attract. We can see the flower that has been left in the air. We can see the earth, but we are not able to see the attraction that pulls down the flower. Just because we are not able to see this power, it is folly for us to argue that the earth has no power to attract. In the same manner, there are several types of attractive powers in the aspect of the divine. The creation that we see around us has the strength of sound, strength of movement, strength of being permanent and prosperous, the strength of and many other different types of strength. This is why it is said that, when you are in , your body should not be in contact with anyone else. There are also other meanings for this. Wherever there is dirt and unclean atmosphere, there would be bad and filthy bacteria, while in a clean place where the atmosphere is good and clean, there will be clean bacteria. When we touch an unclean body, there is a possibility of the disease causing germs flowing into us. Further, that unclean and unsacred body may communicate a part of the uncleanness to us. One body and another are like magnets in this case. This is the reason why individuals who take the path of , should keep away from unclean surroundings and objects. It is in this context that our ancients have advised that we should go and touch the feet of sacred and elderly people so that the sacredness that is contained in their body is transmitted to us. Similarly, if you touch an unsacred body, the impurity or unsacredness can also enter into you.
