ence, Pekunlu delivered the message: "Do
not let yourselves be carried away by the
indoctrination of idealism and keep your
faith in materialism," and gave Vladimir I.
Lenin, the leader of the bloody communist
revolution in Russia, as his reference.
Advising everyone to read Lenin's century-
old book titled Materialism and Empirio-Crit-
icism, all Pekunlu did was to repeat the
ignorant counsels of Lenin, stating: "Do not

These words explicitly demonstrate that the fact which Lenin alarm-
ingly realised and wanted to banish both from his own mind and the minds
of his "comrades" also disturbs contemporary materialists in a similar way.
However, Pekunlu and other materialists suffer yet a greater distress;
because they are aware that this fact is now being put forward in a far more
explicit, certain and convincing way than 100 years ago. For the first time in
world history, this subject is being explained in a quite irresistible way.
Nevertheless, the general picture is that a great number of materialist
scientists still take a very superficial stand against the fact that "we never
have direct experience of the original of matter." The subject explained in
this chapter is one of the most important and most exciting subjects that
one can ever come across in his life. There is no chance of ever having faced
such a crucial subject before. Still, the reactions of these scientists and the
manner they adopt in their speeches and articles hint at how superficial
their comprehension is.
