The Energy Aspect

   The 'Energy' aspect is very important in  the spiritual context. What form of energy dictates the performance of the jiva for almost a hundred yea.rs is not yet clear. It is common knowledge that a Hydroelectric power station generating 1 11 000 MW of power is produced and transmitted over hundreds of kilometers to light our homes, heat our water, and turn our computers and TV on, or do  any number of functions after it is reduced 230 volts, stepping down the supply at the receiving stations and, finally down to 330 volts in the transformers near our homes. Moreover, there are any number of other sources of power obtained from coal,oil, natural gas, etc. Even small batteries and cadmium cells are there. But what is that 'Energy' which runs the affairs of our body, mind, and metabolism incessantly for almost a hundred years making us sit, stand, run, do work? It is not clear whether the small breakfast, lunch and dinner or snacks are enough to perform all these functions or is there any other source to run the heart-beat and pulses?
  The working Mind and the brain demand lot of energy. Some put this as the energy obtained from the soul/ Atman. Accordingly, they have digitized the lifetrons, thoughtrons, hodons, chronons, etc. These start from 0.1 to the power of -30! (More about this later). The thought-forces that work as 'mental energy' is of such immensity that it may even lead to disorder of the body. Similarly, the energy required to lift and move the body, make it work in different capacities are yet to be carefully studied. In fact, it is easily measured and we know the energy level every morning. One cannot run or walk briskly when the energy is low. Hence, it is essential to know whether this energy is supplied by the food we eat, or does it come from some other source; there are people who take to yoga and reduce consumption of solid food and live longer and healthy. There is also the 'soul power' that sustains the body and mind and controls the jiva, but not much is known. Sri Sri Anandamurti asks the scientists to study this aspect and let us know when exactly the energy acquires mass and supports its growth. He says, the energy that works at different levels-  say, in medium wave length may be supplying energy to jiva. The human body is a bundle of energy and energy circulates as prana shakti all over body day in and day out!   This aspect need an in-depth study.

  So far, it is evident that endothermic nuclear reactions where energy turns into matter are common in both fission and fusion reactors. Sun is a huge thermodynamic reactor.The solar radiation is the chief source of our energy. The heat received from the Sun as solar insolation is a single dominant factor determining all aspects of our life. When energy is low it is lightest charged particle as electrons. However, there is not much energy in a single particle and there is not conversion of energy to mass in day-to-day life. It is common knowledge that sunlight is responsible for chlorophyll and photosynthesis creating a chain reaction such as C6 H12 O +6 O2 <--- 6 CO2+6 H2O.

  It is thus important to note how Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon in permutation and combination creates the paraphernalia of life. It is the oxygen as an agent that decides growth and destruction of the body. Carbon is the fuel. In fact everything is 'energy', carbohydrate and hydrocarbon. This is life!
