43. Listen to Heart – Energy Can Neither Be Created Nor Destroyed ….

It reminds me of my student days when I was taught and made to understand and practice the knowledge. Once I completed my std. X, I opted for science and which finally showed me the path of Engineering.

I was taught during my classes and lectures of Physics that energy is a property of objects. Energy is transferable via any media and interactions. Energy can be converted to different forms. I still remember that we were taught that Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but and can be transferred. There are many forms of energy which can be convertible to other form of energy. Due to change of form it causes a proportional change in mass in objects that possess it. The various forms of energy are;

·        Kinetic Energy: It is in moving object

·        Radiant Energy: It is carried by light and electromagnetic radiation

·        Potential Energy: It is stored by virtue of position of an object in the field

·        Thermal Energy: It comprises of microscopic kinetic and potential energies of the disordered motions of the particles making up matter.

The law of conservation of energy states that total energy of a system can only change, if energy is transferred into or out of the system. Any energy in a single form can be transformed to another form. It means that it not possible i.e. it is impossible to create or destroy energy.

Energy may be transformed between different forms at various efficiencies. Energy transformations in the universe over time are characterized by various kinds of potential energy that has been available. Matter may be converted to energy (and vice versa), but mass cannot ever be destroyed; rather, mass/energy equivalence remains a constant for both the matter and the energy, during any process when they are converted into each other. According to conservation of energy, energy can neither be created (produced) nor destroyed by itself. It can only be transformed. The total inflow of energy into a system must equal the total outflow of energy from the system, plus the change in the energy contained within the system.

In one of the article i.e. “Listen to Heart – Matter and Spirit matters in Life ….” We have tried to understand the matter and the spirit. Matter relates to human body i.e. a medium and Spirit denotes the Atman, the soul. We have also discussed that everything is going through a change every time at every moment in the system and agreed that change is the only constant in life in “Listen to Heart – Change is the only Constant….”

We have learnt that Energy is present everywhere and similarly the Spirit is also present everywhere. Both i.e. Energy and Spirit (i.e. Atman) are omnipresent. Can we say that spirit is also a form of energy? If Atman is present everywhere then how can Atman move from one body to another? This is a question which was giving rise to many other questions. I was trying to discuss and read and surf to find an answer to it. We belief all when a human being dies the Atman leaves the body which is dead and enters into another body which is born i.e. leaves the old body and enter into the new body. I came to understand that it is mind and intellect and not the Atman which takes moves to another body. This transfer of mind and intellect from one physical body to another body is termed as death for the older body and birth for the new body. Can I say that Mind and intellect are another form of energy as is being transferred?

When the mind and intellect enters a body the life starts and the soul is said to be lively whereas the Soul is always lively. The Atman and Spirit is beyond the material of body, mind and intellect. The material passes through different stages of life i.e. childhood, youth and old age; it is in the similar way mind and intellect passes to another body at the time of death. We understand that neither the embodied mind and intellect nor the Atman is destroyed at the time of death.

In this materialistic world we live our life with desires. We have ‘Vasanas’ which we would like to fulfill. In order to fulfill our desires (Vasanas) we become blind. We have seen that blindness is not a medical disease rather blindness is from within, in the article ‘Listen to Heart - Blindness not a medical disease ……’ Gita represent Dhritrashtra a blind man not for blindness due to lack of his vision of his eyes but due to blindness from within due to his lack of vision from within i.e. mind, intellect and heart which had impure his soul. The physical body is not in a position to fulfill the vasanas, then the mind and intellect finds another body which can fulfill the Vasanas. This way the old body is termed as dead and the new body is termed as birth. This cycle of birth and death due to Vasanas goes on and on in the form of birth and death until the Vasanas are fulfilled and exhausted. Once all the Vasanas are fulfilled then the mind and intellect get merged with Atman. We have learnt that we need to be satisfied and it can be only if we are able to control the desires and vasanas. When the merger of mind and intellect happens with Atman then we become one with the supreme Self. We can say that Atman gets one with Parmatama. It is the process of Self Realization. Krishna tells Arjuna not to be grieved at the change of life. Any man who has perfect knowledge of the constitution of the individual soul, the Supersoul, and nature—both material and spiritual—is called a dhira, or a most sober man. The Bhagavad-gita refers to those who have had enough, those who have come to their spiritual senses as dhira, wise persons. Srila Prabhupada fittingly renders dhira as sober persons, for they have broken free from the intoxication of bodily misidentification. We should realize that - That’s not me. That is the soul with mind and intellect. The person who wants to act in non-spiritual immoral ways is not me. The real me is a higher, better person waiting to resurface as soon as I become sober (wise and dhira). Such a man is never deluded by the change of bodies. So Arjuna should not lament rather, he should rejoice for their changing bodies from old to new ones, thereby rejuvenating their energy. We are not our material bodies, but are souls meant for an eternal life of love with Krishna.

Krishna tells Arjuna, “Just as the embodied (passes through) childhood, youth and old age in this body, so does it pass into another body; there the wise one is not grieved and not bewildered by such a change.”
