It all started when i was watching this shaw in discovery channel . Being a great fan of animal documentaries i was watching a show which was informing about the deadliness of the stings of a jellyfish . Many people have been stung by these mild creatures accidentaly and have died , mainly due to the lack of medical attention at the right time or due to the wrong diagnosis by the medicos . The venom they inject are neuro toxic in nature and is very painful . These people can be cured only by proper anti-venom . There have been cases of people being brought back to life after their heart and brain have stopped working . or , had they stopped working ? why did they think that their brain has stopped working ? This made me think about the cycle of life and death . Inititally i thought about this but later this took me somewhere else . i finnaly was thinkin about the real world . these people who have been brought back to life reported entering a place with lot of light and peace . Lets respect their experience by considering that they are true . This just reminds me that "there is no end to anything in the world" .
we all have had dreams which seem so real . One common dream is the one where we experience a "great fall" . That experience is just so very real !! The great scientists ( i call them the great stones) who give a bald explaination to these wonderful things are just stones . they say that these things are mainly due to some harmonal or some stupid substance's in our body level raises and hence we feel that . Can i put it this way , " these stupid substance's level in our body level raises as one of the implication of the incident which caused it .??? life is not just about proteins called genes in our body . life is beyond that . if it is beyond that , what is it ?
One of the greatest and probably the best thinkers of that time , sri shankaracharya thought that the world is an illusion . This great work by the great man has been interpreted in different ways by many . Many give it a religious twist and make the thought controversial . Many take it in a worldly sense . They think that it's related to worldly pleasures that a person tries to acquire in his lifetime . Many give it an ascetic twist . nevertheless , we have to respect their views . I won't be speaking about my interpretation about this work . Many people would love if i made a reference to the movie "matrix" . The movie also has a similar philosophy .
i would love to quote another example here . It's a thing each and everyone would know . Life span of humans is about 70 years . Turtles have around 150 . elephants also have around 50 . birds have about 8 or 9 years . insects about 1 or 2 years . some plants have life span about a million years . some insects live for a month or two . What i am trying to tell you needs a bit of thinking . Though we feel one million years is too much of a time and a month or 2 years of life span is just too small , they are all same . The life is not just about living the quantum . It's about making the same time count to the max . an insect does all that is required of it in a few months and the giant sequioa ( don't mind the spelling please ) , which lives for a million year does the same in that span . Once again the stones ( the great scientists ) attribute this to the slow metabolic rates of the organisms . slower the organism is , greater is it's life span . the slow metabolic rates releases low level of oxygen free radical and thus doesn't destroy the genes and hence increases the longetivity . God knows what they are trying to prove . Stop eating food with oxygen atoms and increase our longetivity ? or stop breating ? God knows !
Or may be they are indirectly trying to say that time is not the same for all of us . we humans have the tendancy to compare everything to ourselves and to things associated with us or things we know . but life of ours with tortises's point of view or the sequioa's point of view is just too small . but we are happy with our life . Time is not the same for everyone . This made me think what is life ?
can we say , anything which is dynamic is life ? Then we would end up with a result that atoms are life . many billions of lives make our life . A close explaination would be , anything with ability of reproducing is life . This would at not all be convincing . whatever the life is it's really confusing . i Finally concluded that life is just life . Stop thinkin about the root . concentrate on the shoots ( fruits) !!!!
will be updated in near future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
