The potentiality of life-energy is not to be assessed from the physical capability of the body of the being. Though human body is rather small in size and its activities such as locomotion, lifting of load, physical and mental exertion, are limited as compared to several other members of the animal kingdom, it should not be assumed that the potentiality of the source of bio-energy in humans is of lesser significance. On the other hand, since many other beings of the animal kingdom appear to be physically more powerful than man in many ways, it does not imply that their bio-energy has a greater potential than that of man.
All animate beings, however insignificant they are in shape or size, have a unique and striking characteristic. It is their natural capability to reproduce their species. Within a small seed of a tree, lies in a dormant state, the potentiality of growth and reproduction. Availing the appropriate environment, a tiny seed uses this potentiality stored in its soul by growing into a huge Banyan tree.
