Q.Whatdoyoumeanby‘innateness’?Whatistheinnatenessinthefourorders? or Whatdoyouunderstandbytheterm ‘innateness’(dhaarna)innature?Explainthe innatenessofmaterialandanimalorderinnature. Ans:Innateness(dharana): Innatenessmeansqualitieswhichareinnatetotheunit. Eachunitinexistenceexhibitsaninnateness,anintrinsicqualitythatcannotbe separatedfrom it.Wereferthisprincipleasinnatenessalsocalleddharnaofthat unit.Thisisintrinsictotheunit. Materialorder: Whenweburncoalandithasfinishedburningandonlysomeashis leftandsmokeshavegoneout,itisnotthatthebasicmaterial,thefundamental particlesincoal,have‘ceasetoexist’or‘disappeared’from existence.Theymaynot bevisibletotheeyeatthatmoment,buttheycontinuetoexist,theystillareinthe formofothermatterorintheformofgases,etc.Thisistherewithallmaterialunits. Wecannotdestroymatter,wecanonlyconvertitfrom oneform totheother.Thus, “toexist”,or‘existence’isintrinsictoallmaterial,itisinnatetoit.Wecannot separatethe‘existence’ofathingfromthethingitself. Plant/bioorder: Becausethepranicorderisadevelopmentofthematerialorder,it alsohastheinnatenessof‘existence’.Inaddition,italsoexhibitsthe‘growth’.This principleof‘growth’cannotbeseparatedfromanyunitsofthisorder.Ifitisofpranic order,itwillgrow.Forexample,ifyouhaveaplant,youcannotstopitfrom growing. Itwillcontinuetorespireandkeepchanginginthisway.Theonlywayyoucanstopit from growingisbycuttingit,butwhenyoudothat,itceasestobelongtothepranic order,insteaddecaysandthenbelongstothematerialorder.So,aslongasyouhave aplant,itwillgrow. Animalorder: Theanimalbodyisadevelopmentofthepranicorderandtherefore thisorderinheritstheinnatenessofthepreviousordernamely‘existence’and ‘growth’.Thisisatthelevelofthebody,whichisphysico-chemicalinnature.In addition,allunitsinthisorderhavethe‘willtolive’in‘I’.Indeednounitinthisorder canbeseparatedfromthis‘willtolive’.Itisintrinsictoeveryunitinthisorder. Human (knowledge)order: When we look atthe human being,we find that ‘existence’and‘growth’arefundamentallypresentinthebody,justasintheanimal body.Atthelevelof‘I’however,inadditiontothe‘willtolive’,ahumanbeing’s innatenessisthe‘willtolivewithhappiness’.
