Yogananda, Paramahansa, 1893-1952

"Autobiography of a Yogi"

George W. Crile of Cleveland told a gathering of
medical men on May 17, 1933 in Memphis. "This all-important radiation,
which releases electrical currents for the body's electrical circuit,
the nervous system, is given to food by the sun's rays. Atoms, Dr.
Crile says, are solar systems. Atoms are the vehicles that are
filled with solar radiance as so many coiled springs. These countless
atomfuls of energy are taken in as food. Once in the human body,
these tense vehicles, the atoms, are discharged in the body's
protoplasm, the radiance furnishing new chemical energy, new
electrical currents. 'Your body is made up of such atoms,' Dr.
Crile said. 'They are your muscles, brains, and sensory organs,
such as the eyes and ears.'"
Someday scientists will discover how man can live directly on solar
energy. "Chlorophyll is the only substance known in nature that
somehow possesses the power to act as a 'sunlight trap,'" William
L. Laurence writes in the NEW YORK TIMES. "It 'catches' the energy
of sunlight and stores it in the plant. Without this no life could
exist. We obtain the energy we need for living from the solar
energy stored in the plant-food we eat or in the flesh of the
animals that eat the plants. The energy we obtain from coal or oil
is solar energy trapped by the chlorophyll in plant life millions
of years ago. We live by the sun through the agency of chlorophyll."
