Life is a mystery and a challenge at the same time. There is life in everything in this creation. That is why there is immense possibility. Life and death are two aspects of the same coin. Only when life comes up to a point when it cannot proceed further, it leaves the vehicle and takes another form. As there is life in matter also, that is why matter has possibilities. Life tries to manifest all the possibilities hidden in matter, by bringing out force, mobility, sense of being etc. Life moves ahead by discarding the old and unused or already used substances by deaths. That is why the problems of life can be solved in the life itself rather by death. The more complex is the creation, the more difficult is the progress but that is why there is more possibility of manifestation also.
