Passage 5

In English

Likewise, though there are infinite powers in man, they are not revealed. These are known as (transcendental powers). These are psychic in nature and have been termed so by scientists. Man is thus a repository of enormous energy of various kinds, viz. light energy, electric energy, radiation energy, and above all energy of the Self (Atmic ). But for this energy, man cannot eat, drink, move, laugh, or do anything for that matter. Man, though blessed with such powers, is forgetting the latent divinity and is leading the life of an animal. The reason for this is the perversion of (intellect). Our ancient epics like the , the , and the give many instances to illustrate this.
