The Quest:What is Living Entity

Man is long been in search of "What exactly is Living Entity?”Even to the extent that, he is in search for living organism in outer space looking at the never ending vast universe. His search has been looked upon to be a never ending Quest. But we tend miss out the most basic query of all "What are LIVING BEINGS?”

Our body is made of similar materials like that of the chair you sitting on or that of the floor you standing on to i.e. our body are made of atoms and molecules similar to that found in the other non-living entity of the Universe. Then, how do we differentiate LIVING BEINGS from that of NON-LIVING? The answer to the question is pretty simple .Its "THE MIND”, which differs us from the non-living elements.


We Humans have long been putting every object which has MIND into LIVING ENTITY, which could be the fish in the tank in our living room or a weed growing our back yard.

Got a bit confused! As too "How can weeds growing in our backyard can have MIND?"
But then you have got a wrong notion about "What is MIND?”We can define MIND as (in a human or other conscious being) the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges, etc. Mind is an aspect which has no scope i.e. we cannot define where it starts from or where it ends. It’s not the brain where our mind is, mind is in every cell of our body. We call one particular cell is dead cell, when it stops operating i.e. when mind is no more present for that cell .Similarly, when we pronounce a person as dead when that Person's MIND is no more present for him.
Scientist at NASA today are keen on looking at extraterrestrials.UNO is preparing themselves for the question "What should one do if we happen to come across an Alien?”

Everyday scientists are searching new ways to communicate with aliens; having a single question in their mind, “Is there a life outside of our scope in the far depth of the universe?”

They are looking at all possible ways life could have evolved on this planet called earth(as we all call it).And compare them with the extraterrestrial objects and are possibly trying to put them into living entities. By doing that they imagine themselves moving more close towards intelligent life our in space.

But then we have missed out a strange, but the fact that life on the alien planet need not be same or similar to that of life on earth. Life need not necessarily be evolved from water (H2O and Carbon).Its only true for the all the living entities on this planet earth that water is been the source and most of the living being are created from carbon molecules. It is just the physical medium what we are talking off.

When we have to consider something into LIVING ENTITY, we just need to realize that only criteria a particular aspect should have is MIND to be considered as LIVING BEING ,nothing less and nothing more.
