System
Who am I? The simple answer is that I am the SYSTEM.
In thermodynamics, there are some important terms viz., system, surrounding, boundary, process etc.
System is the portion of the Universe under observation. So, I am also the system. The remaining space of the system is called surrounding. Boundary separates system and surruonding. I too have surrounding and that is my world.
Process
When the system undergoes some changes with respect to time, it is called process. I am also undergoing some changes as the time goes. So, I undergo various processes viz., growth, learning, experiencing etc.
Types of system
Based on the nature of the boundary the system can be classified as follows.
- open system
- closed system
- isolated system.
Open System
Open system is like a cup of hot coffee kept without lid. It looses its mass and heat by physical interaction with the surrounding. I also have awakeness (Jakrat) during day time. I have lot of physical and mental interactions with the world.
Closed System
Closed system is similar to a cup of hot coffee with lid. It may loose its heat but there is no mass transfer. I too have the similar situtation in my dream (Swapna) where I do not physically interact with the world but mentally I do a lot.
Isolated System
In an ioslated system like a hot coffee kept in ideal vacuum flask, neither mass transfer nor heat transfer takes place. I do not have any physical and mental interaction with the world during my deep sleep (sushupthi).
Gold is one, ornaments are many like ring, necklace, chain, …
Current is one, appliances are many like fan, light, heater, …
I is one, it is absolute (Turiya). We are many like you, I, he, she, it, they, Ragu, Ravi, Ram, Balu, Usha, Kala, Abdul, George, Sophia …..
I am the oberserver ! I am the absolute (Turiya) !! I just enact according to the code instructed and sometimes designed by myself!! I am not susceptible to external stimuli (influences)! I do not have pain! I do not have struggle! I live everywhere when I realize myself. I love everyone when I realize myself. I dwelve in everybeing when I realize myself. I do not have caste! I do not have religion! I do not have language! I do not have gender bias!! I do not have taste! I do not have feelings!
I is one; it is available as many differential elements!!
Integrate and Improve the overall system and surroundings!
