Smell and Microvita
–
Excerpt G
Gandhákśa. There are certain diseases which are spread by the inference of smell. It is claimed that diseases are caused by various types of virus. The word “virus” is somewhat defective. Instead, the term “negative microvitum” should be used. Negative microvita cause various ailments in the human body and mind and spreads them. Negative microvita are not only carried by the inference of smell, but also by the other inferences of sound, touch, form and taste. They not only move on the planet Earth, but they also travel freely from one plant to another. Some diseases of this type are spread through vision. Some ocular diseases are contracted by looking at the infected eyes of a diseased person, while some other diseases are transmitted by the smell of the particular disease – like cholera, for instance. Although the negative microvita that cause small pox and influenza are carried by all kinds of inferences, they are mostly transmitted by taste, colour and smell. This type of negative microvita is called “gandhákśa.”
