Friends, when I asked AI for a one-sentence definition of a living being, it told me that a living being is one that is capable of reproduction, growth, metabolism, adaptation to the environment, responding to stimuli and maintaining homeostasis, while non-living beings are capable of none of these. In this post, we will prove through Kundalini Yoga that all these activities take place even in non-living things.
reproduction in non-living things
If there was no reproduction in non-living things then how would the universe develop? Then we would not have seen the sky full of planets and stars. The number of things or living beings increases only through reproduction. Because there are innumerable non-living things in the universe, reproduction also occurs in non-living things. That reproduction takes place from the original sky i.e. original nature aka mool Prakriti in Sanskrit. It is also said in the scriptures that the universe is born from the original nature. From that original space the original fundamental particles are born. Consider the original sky as a mother and the fundamental particles as children. Then those fundamental particles continue to grow through mutual actions and reactions and spread throughout the universe. In fact, this entire creation must have been made up of only a few hundred or thousand fundamental particles. Their mutual reactions create different substances, which fill the entire universe.
metabolism in non-living things
According to AI definition, metabolism is the set of chemical reactions occurring in living organisms that are necessary for energy production, growth, development and repair. In the so-called lifeless Sun, energy is produced by nuclear reactions. Due to this, there is continuous growth and development in the fundamental particles. Due to this, all the elements that create the universe are produced in sufficient quantities in the Sun.
Adaptation to environment in non-living things
By kicking, not only the dog runs away but also a ball runs away. Galaxies live in groups like families so that new stars can be formed properly. Just as living beings want to run away from the suffocating dense population and go towards peace, similarly all the non-living things like air and water also run from high pressure to low pressure area. Meaning that even non-living things adapt themselves for their betterment.
response to stimuli by nonliving things
A piece of metal expands when heated. Meaning it tries to spread out its heat or tries to run away from there. The same piece of metal shrinks as the cold increases. Meaning it tries to save its heat by crouching there. There are innumerable examples, such as explosions, electrical conduction, and chemical reactions, of inanimate objects responding to stimuli to a greater extent and more rapidly than even the living beings.
Maintenance of homeostasis by non-living things
Homeostasis means maintaining the same conditions necessary for life. As a healthy body has a fixed and uniform temperature, at which the body is most efficient. Similarly, if we consider it in non-living things, then when the temperature increases too much, clouds start gathering and it rains. Due to this the temperature of the environment becomes normal again. Greenhouse gases help in maintaining uniform and stable temperature on Earth. The fixed and determined force of gravity helps galaxies maintain a stable structure, ensuring the proper evolution of the universe. The mutual balance between the force of expansion and the force of gravity keeps the universe alive.
It is clear from the facts arising from such out of the box or offbeat thinking that there is basically no difference between non-living and living. The line dividing them is not real but imaginary. This also proves that non-living beings also have their own level of basic cognition like living beings. When a person attains samadhi through Kundalini Yoga, he experiences the basic cognition of that object. That is a primitive cognitive experience, and very close to the ultimate experience of complete enlightenment. That is why it is said that God can be reached only through Samadhi.
