What is Life?


Our life comprise two major components, which are material and abstract. The material component refers our body, which can be perceived through the five senses. The abstract  part of life refers to the mind, which is indeed intangible but undeniably exists within our body. As long as the material and abstract component are bound together, life continues. It is our luck to have an opportunity to learn more about the material and abstract parts of our life, before they part with one another!
As you get to learn more about the fundamental truths about life, you will appreciate how lucky you are to be born human and that you should make the most of your life by constantly working towards self-development.

As a scientist, life is a relationship between substance and energy. Our body is a substance which is a tool used by the mind (which is a source of energy). When our bodies and mind work together in harmony, life is peaceful, but when they are in disharmony, peace will elude us.
Interestingly, most people are only familiar with physical exercise, but not mental exercise. It seem that mental exercise is simply forgotten and the mind becomes vulnerable. With that, unavoidable disharmony that arises between the body and mind will lead to a problematic life.

Therefore, it is critical to gain a thorough understanding about life and self-development to strike a balance between the body and mind. When there is harmony, the mind would instruct wholesome, beneficial behavior to the body and the fruit of such actions is inevitably happiness.
