Berkeley , nearly two hundred years ago now , answered the scientists apparently for all time , by stating : “ ... it seems no less absurd to suppose a substance without accidents , than it is to suppose accidents without a substance .” And that , “ though we should grant the unknown substance may possibly exist , yet where can it be supposed to be ?

THE SOLDIER AND THE HUNCHBACK Little brother, he says, let us rather consider that as the pendulum swings more and more slowly every time, it must ultimately stop, as soon as the shaft is of infinite length. Good! then it isn’t a pendulum at all but a Mahalingam— The Mahalingam of Shiva (amo Shivaya namaha Aum !) which is all I ever thought it was; all you have to do is to keep swinging hard—I know it’s hook-swinging!—and you get there in the End.
