Neutrality Is Independence In Science & Philosoph
Yoshinori Ohsumi, Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine, said in his acceptance lecture in December 2016: "Life is an equilibrium state between synthesis and degradation of proteins. “According to French physiologist, Claude Bernard, "Stability of internal environment (in the body) is the condition for free and independent life." As long as vital organs are in equilibrium, there is life. Once these organs are stressed, there is deviation from the equilibrium state and life becomes endangered. It implies the basic unity between science and between different aspects of sensible knowledge, too. Synthesis implies creation. Degradation implies annihilation. Together, they can contribute to the system could again reach equilibrium state. If it is true for a physical system, it should, in principle, be valid for a biological system. Just as matter acquires a no equilibrium state by its interaction with energy, life becomes imbalanced when senses interact wife sense objects. The Bhagwad Gita says a person whose senses are under control is in equipoise. However, absolute equilibrium may not be reality. The same goes for matter. Matter, not being acted upon by any force, is not reality, although lots of physics are associated with matter described in the equilibrium state. Likewise, we discuss more about order, when disorder abounds all around. Perhaps something in isolation can be in equilibrium. Cowper's Alexander Selkirk wailed: "O solitude, where are the charms that sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, than to reign in this horrible place! “He continued: "Society, friendship and love are divinely bestowed upon man." Since we are uncomfortable with isolation, we have to find the equilibrium state in ordinary, mundane life, when it interacts with its surroundings. Internal disorders take a person to a non-equilibrium state. However, interaction with surroundings relaxes the mind, heart and body. Disparity can dent the equilibrium state. If there is disparity between thought and action, there is no equilibrium in life. So, too, equilibrium is absent when there is disparity in distribution of equilibrium state. Parity in life and matter is largely responsible for equilibrium. Many a time these involve dependent processes. Life that is not equilibrium at a given time may asperity and equilibrium in course of=Life cannot be monotonous; it vicissitudes, variety and colours.Liinspires dreams and imagination. Lalo complex.
