PREFACE
Extracts
....What would I say if somebody asked me what method I carried to rediscover perpetual
motion or if I succeed in my venture, how did I design a PMM? What would a composer
say if someone asked him by how he created his concert? What would a poet say
if asked by what method he created his poem? An artist paints a picture because
he takes delight in his painting because it is his self-expression of his glory, his well-being. Similarly, a perpetual motionist
like me loves to design his machine, not because he wants anything from any one. The
complete narration of creative process is a difficult task; moreover, difficulties are manifold if some inventor lacks the
erudite, intelligence and flair of writing. In invention, as in any field of
creative endeavor, there is little interest to rationalize each step; the primary goal for the inventor is the invention itself. Communicating the course of his invention to people is a matter of choice, secondary
one which largely depends on the wish of the inventor himself. Moreover, making
an invention and then writing it for the benefit of the people in a way, acceptable within the framework of science pose a
double challenge to the inventor. The journey of invention is often through unidentified and unrecognized terrains. Therefore,
roadmap of the invention is difficult to sketch; in his journey of invention,
even road is not smooth, there are seldom mile markers and signs on the road telling any inventor how he can proceed. Often, he has to walk through dark tunnels, caves and narrow lanes for a long
time while grapples to seek the solution of the problem. In this particular sense
each invention has its own map, maize and difficulties and each inventor has his own approach to tackle his problem, which
may not look necessarily scientific because invention is not always purely the work of reason or product of scientific method. In an attempt to tackle his problem, he often invents tools which are unique and which
suits to his skills .It would not be wrong to say that invention has its arts as much as its method. The complete answer must lie deep in the combination of the mental processes of retention and recall that
lead to comparisons and contrasts and finally through a road map, through the maize of figures, facts, and fancies that the
inventor has accumulated in his studies and observations to win his hard fought battle. The process of discovery and invention
is mysterious because it is largely unconscious. Without such conflict, no one can make a big discovery or invent some fundamental
invention to construct new knowledge ....
.....In the book entitled “How did it happen?” I have tried to give
a clear and simple account of my experiments on the subject. I have only described those ideas, which proved themselves on
test and not the chimeras, far numerous ones, which were disproved or proved unconstructive and had to be abandoned in the
course of quest. We each have our own story of how we got to the path. Some find synchronous events drawing them into the
process. Whether you see it as evidence of a divine intelligence that guided you is dependent on your judgment as a rational
being or a religious being or the right blend of two. However, in my course of discovery, I would admit guidance from divine
intelligence as I have had the feeling at times of being guided by something in the right direction….it is quite amusing
to note that everyone devoted to perpetual motion feels so. ....
.....For me, the intuitions abound with purity of heart as well as purpose, and
they have changed me over the years from a cynical type of perpetual motionist who would have none of this, to one who is
open to the concept of guiding intelligence that comes to our aid when we pray for it. If one develops this practice of calling
these intuitions, necessity of a master that guide to right path does not arise immediately, except later for guidance in
awakening of Kudalini power. ….
.....This volume presents a personal story which illustrates an important phenomenon
in real science: the joy of making a discovery. I have been fortunate to experience this fantastic feeling in my career as
a perpetual motionist, such moments are priceless. Certainly, at one night in Udaipur something flipped inside of me which I cannot quite
explain. This is the ultimate cognition that I had at that very moment. There was a complete about-turn in my psyche and I
just realized that consciousness is the ground of all being. I remember staying up that night, looking at the sky and having
a real mystical feeling about what the world is, and the complete conviction that this is the way the world is, this is the
way that reality is, and one can do perpetual motion. But I became completely convinced—there has not been a shred of
doubt ever since—that one can do perpetual motion on this basis. Not only that, one can solve the perpetual motion but
also this is what turning out. Of course, all the problems did not get solved right on that night, yet that night was the
beginning of a new way of doing perpetual motion. So that night something really did shift for me in my whole approach. And
everything was different after that. Later, I found in working out the details of what it would mean to do perpetual motion
in this context, that I was able to penetrate much more deeply or that my own perpetual motion thinking was transformed in
some way by this experience. ….
....Of course, impelled by practical needs, inventors create inventions and study
them to gain new insights and make them known to the world, contributing to our common knowledge. However, I think that many
will agree that it is not only the final results, but also many facets of the process itself – and especially some rare
and intense moments on the road towards understanding – which constitute the true highlights of any process of discovery
like the perpetual motion. .....
