Life

The moment a being comes into existence , begins it life in the world. Every being in the world has life but in different degrees. In other words, both living beings and non-living beings have life but in different gradation. Living beings are of mainly four types: Plants, Animal, Human Being and God.
Non-living being refers to those beings which are produced for the sake of being used by others. In strict sense, they don't have life. Interestingly, through their presence they continue to inspire and influence other living beings. For example, a bottle is produced for the sake of fulfilling needs of the people who use it. Through its existence in the world, continuously affects the life of other living beings. The non-living beings are in the lower level of existence.
Plant life is in the lower rung of life. They live life without awareness. They have no capacity to act and to react. Animals are one step higher than plants. They show their capacity to act and react as per the situation demands. They live in the world of “I” and so lack the need to be sensitive. Human beings are higher than animals and plants because of the capacity to transcend the horizon of “I’ to “We” through his capacity to be sensitive.
God is in higher level than plants, animals and human beings. God is God because of 'No difference attitude'. God never shows difference between one human being and the other. For him ‘ All beings are'.
