it really means inanimate matter but it wrongly poses to deal with matter both animate and inanimate or the materialistic monists have misinterpreted the meaning of science wrongly transferring and transposing the conclusions of the Inanimate to the Animate just like the Puranic transferences and transpositions of Vedic men, matters and events. We now go to the very fundamental of Matter.
Newton conceived attraction as an essential property of matter Attraction is a necessary property of matter but not repulsion. This is very important; the crux of the whole problem. This is the whole truth if Inanimate Matter is meant by concept Matter. But the materialistic monists can never forget that matter is always and constantly in motion; hence the above statement is immediately supplemented by the statement that the essence of matter is attraction and repulsion. Where there is attraction, it must be complimented by repulsion. Kant conceives matter as the unity of attraction and repulsion. All motion consists in the interplay of attraction and repulsion. Attraction and repulsion are the basic forms of motion. Attraction and repulsion are as inseparable as positive and negative and hence the true theory of matter must assign as important a place to repulsion as to attraction and that a theory of matter based on mere attraction is false, inadequate and one-sided. Attraction and repulsion are essence of Matter. 1
This is another big instance of the great confusion of the materialistic monists. The materialistic theory of emergence is responsible for this confusion. We find only attraction in inanimate matter. Inanimate matter does not possess the property of repulsion. Only animate matter possesses the property of repulsion. This proposition indicates that the theory of motion has also not rightly been understood by the materialistic monists. Matter is unthinkable without motion. Subjectmatter of natural science is matter in motion. Nothing is eternal but eternally changing, eternally moving matter and the laws according to which it moves and changes." We
