People think that we are alive because we breathe, that air keeps us alive. However, when someone falls ill, and he cannot breathe, oxygen has to be forced into him with a mask and a machine. So if a machine can make a man breathe, why does he die? Can a machine make a corpse alive again? No, because the life-force is not active in that body any more; it is not manifesting itself. Air going in and out does not constitute a living power. There is a power beyond air, which actually controls the movement of air. Man does not live by air only. If air were all that were necessary, then doctors could easily reanimate a corpse. However, intake of air depends on a higher power, which keeps a person alive. This power is not dependent on doctors or scientists.
