A man was given capital punishment for his crime. Some scientists went to him and said,” You will be hanged to death on so and so date, is that true?” He replied that it was true and that there was no way he could be saved. Then the scientists asked him if he could give his body for experimentation before his death for the welfare of mankind. That man agreed. The scientists took written permission to perform this experiment from the court.
The scientists, the psychiatrists and the doctors came all equipped the day the man was to be hanged. They started their experiment. They told the man that anyway he has to die, so instead of getting hanged he would die of snake bite. They said that they have to find out how the poison spreads in the body and how a man dies after snake bite. They convinced him that they wanted to explore about the remedy to cure man of snake poison.
They used a rat instead of snake for the whole procedure, but the man was told that the snake had bitten him and that he was about to die. Scientists knew that it was a rat but the criminal assumed that a snake had bitten him. His mind was convinced that a snake had bitten him, and therefore he had a strong belief that he would die in the same manner as the horse.
Thus, the mind has strong influence on the body. This is called Mental Influence. Scientists could understand that mind influences the body, but they were surprised finding snake poison in the criminal’s blood, when actually snake had not
bitten him. Where did it come from? They drew the inference that mind has so much power that it can even produce poison!
It is due to the influence of mind that we start trembling by visualizing a tree to be a thief in the dark or by assuming a rope to be a snake. But in reality if we assume an actual snake to be a rope, we pass by keeping our foot over its head confidently.
