Of Births and Deaths

 Perhaps it is only the Planet Earth that hosts a variety of living creatures from the tiniest germs to the gigantic whales and elephants! But, this does not preclude  existence of life elsewhere! The first simplest form of protozoa are the mollusks and algae. A little moisture, sunlight and soil will do to create life. Water is the supporter of life. In a way, the Sun is the chief source of energy for all that exists. The distance from the sun decides the light, heat and the life supporting ingredients for life on the earth. But, the wonders of all wonders is how the cell division and multiplication creates the multifarious life forms! The first impregnated cell contains all the knowledge, technology and memory for building up what it desires. So, the wise said, "Desire is Brahmn". But for the desire, there is no chance for multiplication. This is evident from the life of all that exist. No desire, no life.

 The scientists have made much progress in discovering the secrets of 'Cell'. A simple biological entity is created out of a physical entity like a mineral! A virus is a good example. The five basic elements that create and sustain life are the Oxygen and hydrogen gaseous elements. Together the form water in which the life begins. A cell has a protein cover which holds amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and all that is required for a lifeform. The proteins are numerous, may be around two lacs, and vitamins are many and varied. The Intelligence stored in these is beyond human ingenuity to even guess! One single impregnated cell becomes a tissue, organ, and body! Each function of different cells that is borne out of the mother cell is beyond our imagination. There perfect symmetry in design and execution of the divine plan. However, everything decays, disintegrated and disappears in matter of time. Thus, the question remains. What for is all these creation and dissolution? 

  May it be said, it's the lila of the Lord. Bhagavan Shree Krishna Says, "I Am the Self of All". I only exist and nothing besides Me.  If it is so, then, what is it we know?
