Perpetuation of the Species
How wonderful that a seed is able to germinate due to the presence of two factors, so that the power of these factors gives it that mighty force of even breaking through rock, breaking through the pressure of heavy soil over it—a tiny, tender little thing like a seed that has just germinated. What a miracle! What great force! It cleaves the earth ten times harder than its tender shoot, and surfaces. If by chance a seed has been deposited on the top of a concrete terrace, when it germinates it even breaks through bricks and cement walls and displaces them and puts forth its own life.
This act of multiplying and reproducing is present everywhere. It saturates and permeates the whole universe because from the angle of cosmology, the entire universe is the outcome of such a primal first wish for multiplication. "I am one, may I become many." Thus the Vedas say that there was one imponderable, mysterious being. What that being was, who knows, because that Being was one without a second. So, a second not being present, not existing how can there arise the question of anyone cognizing that Being? Who was there to cognize when that-Ekameva dvitiyam Brahma. (God) alone existed. And in that mysterious Being there arose this germ of an idea. He thought: "May I become many. I am one, may I become many."
That is how they try to explain the genesis of the advitiya and the aneka from the Ekameva ’dvitiya. And, therefore, the concept of multiplication is at the very heart and essence of existence because it arose from Brahma and therefore it is present everywhere. In the Bible it is put in a different way. God created man and told him: "Go forth and multiply." And, if you delve into the scriptures of all religions, you will find that somewhere or the other this fact is there.
Therefore, the great Cosmic Intelligence and Power called God or Paramatman, the Supreme Soul or the Universal Spirit, permeates and indwells everything that exists. And thus when there is a provision made in a certain period of life then it takes on the nature of a very, very sacred act. Because, ultimately the atman is not created, what is created by the parents, human or sub-human, is only a vehicle for the entry into the earth plane of a spirit, a nucleus of consciousness. And the creation of this receptacle is an act wherein the partners in a marital state co-operate with Brahma, the creator—Srishtikarta Brahma. So they take on a certain part of Brahma’s. function. Therefore it is sacred.
The description is a beautifully related the Human physiology Verses Veda by Dr. Tony Nadar in his book.
The Cell:- The basic unit of Human physiology – From the Unified field emerge quantum waves, which are the basis of what is seen in classical Physics as elementary particles. Elementary particles assemble to form atoms. Atoms groups together to form molecules. The most complex molecules are organic molecules. These organic molecules assemble to form the most complex organic molecule known as DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid Carrying genetic information in chromosomes). The basic structure of DNA reflects/ contains the structure of the information necessary to build and maintain the function of the basic unit of the physiology- The cell. The cell is made of a collection of organic and inorganic molecules, which are assembled in a very precise and orderly manner. This precise and orderly structure of every cell and its components gives it the possibility of fulfilling specific function and allows it to maintain and reproduce itself.
The DNA is densely packed in the center of the cell. Various long segments of DNA wind around each other to form chromosomes. Chromosomes are paired, with half of the chromosomes of each cell coming from the father and half from the mother. The chromosomes of each cell are contained in a spherical structure in the cell center called the cell nucleus.
The bodies of different types of cells have different shapes. Most cells, however have a rather spiracle or ellipsoid shape. Complex tubules and membranes hold the structure of the cell together, and these are called the cell skeleton or cyto skeleton. The outer wall of the cell is called the cell membrane.
On the cell membrane there are pores and different types of ‘gate ways’. Some of these ‘gateways’ are selective and allow only certain types of molecules to pass through, or they respond in special and elaborate “attachments” to the cell membrane are called receptors. Receptors respond and interact via transmitters with the cell environment and the cell nucleus. They keep the DNA informed!
Within the cell body are organelles that perform various functions that maintain the cell and create energy through the specialized process of transformation and metabolism. The cell nucleus acts like a silent catalyst, a silent witness which, togetherness with the cell receptors, the nervous system and epidermis with its receptors (formed by the ectoderm tissue) correspond to the cell nucleus and the cell receptors. The internal organ of the body (formed by the endodermal tissue) corresponds to the cell nucleus organelles.
Embryological Development- from 1 to many- The steps that lead to the formation of a complete living organism such as a human being starts from union of 2 special cells, each containing half of the normal number of chromosomes. This process is called fertilization.
One cell is rather stationary and ‘Silent’. The second cell has a tail that vibrates, allowing it to migrate with high energy and speed towards the first cell. It is therefore dynamic.
This is how the process of fertilization can be seen as the coming together of silence and dynamism. Dynamism collapsing on to silence in the first event, which leads to the many sequential steps necessary for the formation of an organism.
At the same time, the newly formed cell, with its newly assembled pairs & chromosomes, starts a very dynamic process of multiplication. (That is how in Upnishad they try to explain the genesis of the advitiya and the aneka from the Ekameva ’dvitiya. And, therefore, the concept of multiplication is at the very heart and essence of existence because it arose from Brahma and therefore it is present everywhere.) The 2 primordial cells, whose chromosome was silent suddenly, become very dynamic when they unite. This is dynamism starting from silence. Silence leading to dynamism.
Since everything in creation, everything in the Universe is always changing, always dynamic. The “moments” of experience are in fact point of dynamism. They have no dynamism. They are infinitely silent. The term ‘Point’ is used in a mathematical sense. A point in mathematics has no dimensions. Even though we say, for example, that a line is made out of points. There is an infinite number, of points in any line! A point is the smallest possible value. When an expression such as ‘The point of dynamism” is used means Zero dynamism. I.e. total silence. The point of silence will refer to zero silence. i.e. infinite dynamism.
The First Cell- 3-in-1- As earlier described every cell contains 3 distinct aspects
1. The Nucleus
2. The cell body and its organelles and
3. The cell membranes and cell Skeleton.
Their togetherness in one structure, which we call the cell. We therefore already have the reality of 3-in-1 in the very first cell, as well as within each cell of any living organism.
The Zygote migrates and divides- from 1 to 8. The technical term for the first cell, which results from the union of two primordial cells described above, is a Zygote. The Zygote divides into 2 cells, each of which in turn divides into 2 cells, etc. in this way within 3 steps there is progress on from 1 cell to 2, to 4, to 8.
After development of the first 8 cells from the Zygote, after which the Zygote enters the uterus, where it is implanted. The timing is also significant. In term of three steps: The 8 cells stage is reached the third day after fertilization. (It takes 3 rotations of the earth around its axis, with three sunrises and 3 sunsets, to reach that stage here again we see the value of 3 steps).
