world that scientific progress can help man to live for ever.

But he does not believe in the conception of a Supreme Being

Who is the Creator. We welcome this suggestion of the

Russian fiction writer because we know that actual progress of

scientific knowledge will certainly take the man to the spiritual

sky and that advancement of knowledge will inform the

scientist that the Supreme Creator is there full with all

inconceivable potencies beyond the calculation of material
Science.

As suggested herein before every living being is eternal
in form but he has to change his outer coverings of gross and
subtle matters and this changing process is technically known
as life and death. So long a living being has to pull on the
sackles of material bondage there is no relief from the above
mentioned changing process which is to continue even at the
highest stage of material life. The Russian fiction writer may
go on with his imagination, as all fiction writers are apt to do,
but the saner section of the people who studies the natural law
in face will not agree with the fiction writer that man can live
for ever within this material world.

even by studying a fruitin the tree. A small fruit developes
from the flower and it continues to develop more and more. It
stays for some time and then it becomes full grown and ripen.
After the ripen stage it begins to dwindle day by day and on

| some day it falls down from the tree on the earth and begins
its decompostion and at last becomes the dust leaving behind
a seed of the fruit which again grows to become a tree and pro-
duces many many fruits in due course meeting the same fate as
already described.

Similarly a living being (the spiritual spark part and parcel
of the Supreme Being) takes its organic form in the womb of
the mother just after the sexual intercourse. It grows little by
little within the womb and after that without the womb, gradu-
ally becoming a child, boy, youth adult, old and soon. After
old age the man becomes to dwindle and ata certain period he
falls down in the grip of cruel death inspite of all good wishful
desires of all section of fiction writers. So by comparison there
is no difference between the two organic bodies namely the man
