HELPING SOCIETY HELPS KEEPING SOUND HEALTH

Though it is possible to write an exhaustive thesis in extenso
on this subject, we shall restrict ourselves to enunciating the
principles in an aphoristic manner.
The essential characteristic of science is to create a measure
for comparison by experimental evidence. This measure may
be size, weight, motion or any other property.
There are many types of motions even in the human body;
one of the simplest among them is the motion of the pulse.
This motion of the pulse varies upward or downward during
work, due to emotions. Of course, while working also, one of
the six emotions is either hidden or manifest. The pulse
accelerates while learning a new job but it slows down after
the apprentice period. Fear may not accelerate the pulse in the
ordinary course, during learning period; yet even when one is
accustomed to a particular work, acceleration of the pulse
due to greed or ego is inevitable. Another point to remember
is that the pulse slows down when one is accustomed to
physical labour. It is an important medical finding that systolic
volume (cardiac) which is essential for the measurement of
minute volume, is increased even during 'rest period', even
after the people are accustomed to the job. Let us say, it might
be due to selfishness becoming 'part and parcel of the blood.'

ENERGY DISCHARGE
Boys from various age groups in order to
assess the relationship between motive and discharge of
energy. The outline of the experiment is that the boys were to
run a certain distance to a specific spot, where, by taking one
step forward, they were to throw a ring across the distance of
three metres into one fixed stump.
1. In the first test, only the running race was undertaken
with no motive whatsoever. Two boys were successful in the
running race. Here, the object of the race was not revealed.
2. In the second test, it was declared that consideration
will be given to the factor of covering the distance to the starting
point from where the ring was to be thrown. Speed was
increased due to this announcement, but nobody was successful
in throwing the ring across the distance of three metres.
3. In the final test, a prize was offered to the successful
candidate. As a result, three candidates were successful. And
the observable finding was that speed was increased by 10%.
Conclusion to be drawn, as far as this experiment is concerned,
was: success is obtainable by a calm and quiet effort. Chances
of success are reduced when anxiety and haste are added to
the effort. And chances of success are increased when desire
acts as an impetus to the effort. No further experiments are
necessary as S. L. Crowley has already demonstrated that
normal stamina is reduced by such success.
Let us take an hypothetical case for the sake of
simplicity:
Normal Pulse Strokes - 80 beats per Minute;
Greed, Fear plus Physical Labour while learning a job - 120 beats.
After learning the job (Absence of fear, but presence of greed etc.) - 100 beats.
It is all now upto our conclusion..
