जीवन विद्या एक परिचय

So far, we have tried to understand - what is understanding? Who understands? What is the content of understanding? The entity that understands is ‘jeevan’. The content of understanding is ‘existence’, ‘jeevan’, and ‘humane conduct’ only.  In the journey of comprehending existence, we need to understand development, as well as the physicochemical composition and decomposition processes. These processes are inherent in existence, manifesting as material order and biological order. These undergo continuous transformation from one state to another. For instance, trees and plants naturally wither over time, transforming into soil—a phenomenon known as transformability, which characterises the perpetual flux of the physicochemical realm. Similarly, the formation and eventual demise of animal and human bodies follow a cyclical pattern. Bodies are conceived and take shape in the womb, only to return to the elements upon death, contributing to the cycle of soil, air, and water.

The entity which understands, jeevan, remains the same forever. In humans, jeevan is the only entity that understands. Existence has been understood in the form of coexistence only. It is only with the co-existential outlook that we become capable of living in orderliness in every situation. Living in orderliness is the goal of humans, living in orderliness itself is happiness. Jeevan suffers from problems while living in disorder. Consequently, the search for resolution becomes inevitable. Jeevan has an inherent tendency to continuously search and explore. It is not just in jeevan, exploration goes on even in the insentient atoms. This is the cause of transformation in the insentient nature. Everywhere, there exists a natural inclination towards coexistence. This inclination is what leads atomic particles to assemble into atoms, atoms to combine into molecules, and molecules to combine into molecular forms. In this way, humans can understand the being of infinite planets and celestial bodies in existence. The basic form of diversity in the insentient nature lies in the differentiation of particles comprising atoms. These distinct atomic structures, each with its defined status in nature, give rise to diversity in their arrangements. For instance, the biological order exhibits a multitude of compositions. These compositions, inherent to the entities, naturally exist in their respective forms, participating in coexistence. The substances taking these forms are also embodiments of coexistence. Thus, the entirety of existence, with its manifestations, is grounded in this principle. Humans, too, are a part of existence.

Humans are inseparable from coexistence; they cannot detach themselves from it. The more they try to escape, the deeper their turmoil grows. Every individual yearns for resolution, driving them on an endless quest. Each person holds the right to pursue harmony within the framework of existence.
