CHAPTEE VII 



THEIR ONENESS OF ACTION 



To propagate with such lightning rapidity must 

 of course require not a little energy. That such 

 infinitely small beings should have such energy, is 

 the wonder. But it may be because of their one- 

 ness of action throwing their whole being into 

 every motion. Having no differentiated organs, 

 whatever they do they do with their whole being. 

 Having no lungs, with their whole being they 

 breathe. Having no mouth, with their whole be- 

 ing they eat. Having no stomach, with their whole 

 being they digest. Having no organs of assimila- 

 tion, with their whole being they assimilate their 

 food. Having no organs of secretion, with their 

 whole being they secrete. Having no nervous sys- 

 tem, with their whole being they feel. Having no 

 brain, with their whole being they think. Having 

 for the most part, no organs of locomotion, with 

 their whole being they move. And having no or- 

 gans of propagation, with their whole being they 

 propagate. Thus throwing every atom of their 

 whole energy into every motion, that motion is 

 quick and effectual.
