Q.4.	Whether our ancient Rishis earlier has stated about the 
        Physical Eternity or not?
        (By Sri P. Krishnamurthy, MA., Head-clerk, State Bank of India, SVU Campus,   
        Tirupati)

A.      As far as my knowledge goes no Maharshi has stated about Physical 
        Eternity. Master CVV gave a Pillar Test on 20-08-1917. In that he specifically 
        stated about Physical Eternity.

	The Pillar Test is also received in Tamil and this also had been translated by 
        Master at upstairs of his house. The Tamil version was red by Sri S. Narayan 
        Iyer, Medium No.46.

	The old schools have declared the physical as a useless thing, a hindrance to 
        progress; a mortal coil is liable to decay. (Pillar Test dt. 20.08.1917) Moreover 
        they are to lead to further births. Our elders that this mortal body is fit for 
        nothing, and it is subject to decay, and that we must purify our astral and 
        destroy the ideas of the past that come through mental reflections, and attain 
        the pure state. It is clear from this that we cannot realise the lord with this 
        body. (Independence declaration dt.01-07-1910).
