Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose noted the ability of plants to react to its environs. That was in the 1920. After his demise the research was given up . it was left to the modern day scientist to produce irrefutable proof that plants cannot only establish yoga with living things around them , including man , but also can read our minds and intentions. Clever Backster says, “ There is no doubt in my mind that we are all one.”Most of the top scientists of the world echo these scientists , or rather this conviction. All say, “ we are unity”. And in the spectrum of we every living thing on this earth is included. The language of the hoary yogis may be unintelligible, the ground they trod may be terra incognita to us . Now , however, scientist are speaking in a scientific parlance, which we can comprehend.

Temples fall into ruin, pictures and statues decay, but books survive, time does not destroy the great thoughts which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds ages ago . what was then thought and said still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed pages. The only effect of time has been to throw out of currency the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society, they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did , we see them as if they were really alive, we sympathise with them enjoy with them and grieve with them . in a way we move in their company and their Experiences becomes ours, without books no fresh ideas are possible and with out fresh ideas no cultured society is possible.
