“It is indivisible, non-inflamable, insoluble and non-evaporable. On account of its being eternal it can enter into any sort of body. Being steady by constitution, its qualities as above are always fixed up.”
“It is inexplicable also on account of its being contrary to all material qualities. It is unthinkable by ordinary brain. It is unchangeable. No body should ever lament over the anti-material principle.”
Thus, in the Bhagwat Geeta and in all other Vedic literatures the superior energy anti-material principle is accepted as the vital force or the living spirit explained in one word as ‘ Jiva .’ This living principle is impossible to be generated by any sort of combination of material elements. The material elements namely (1) earth, (2) water, (3) fire, (4) air, (5) sky, (6) mind, (7) intelligence and material (8) ego, all these eight material principles are described as inferior energies, whereas the living force or the anti-material principle is described as the superior energy. They are called energies because they are controlled by the supreme Living Being or the Personality of Godhead (Krishna).
The materialist was so long limited within the boundary of eight material principles as above mentioned but it is encouraging that he has now a faint information of the anti-material principle anti-material world also. We hope with the progress of time such materialist will be able to estimate the value of anti-material world where every thing is anti-material without any trace of material principles. The very word anti-material suggests that the principle is completely different from all material qualities. The mental speculators, in two groups, realise this anti-material principle in two different erroneous conclusions. One of them (the gross materialist) denies to accept the anti-material principle or they admit only of dis-integration of material combination at a certain stage. The other one accepts the anti-material principle as completely opposite to the material principle with its twenty four categories. The second speculator is known as the ‘ Sankhyas ’ or the speculator who scrutinises the material principles with minute analysis and synthesis. And at the end of such conclusion the Shankhyaits do accept only a transcendental principle or anti-material non-active principle. But the difficulty for both of the above mental speculators is
