Hi!
Your explanation brought in a great sense to the whole thing.

I see some relation with the discussion between Sri vElUri-Pillalamarri(chanda
as a bandha) and vElUri-Nagulapally (Feynman's Physics).
I wonder why you didn't include some vacana between poems to make the
logic clearer. Not that you must use vacana for clarity. we can explain
with even more connecting poems. If you use vacana for one or two line
explanation, the combination is ideal because poems emphasize your
analogies and vacana explain the transition between different points you had
to say.
(After reading your explanations somebody may say, "see! you explained
more clearly in vacana than in poems". I am trying to prevent such a thing
with this.)
Such a chemical philosophy inspired by nature is really observed at other places
too!
Nagulapally's Feynman's quote is on similar lines. Even on atomic and
subatomic scales or at cosmic scale, nature is intriguing and inspiring.
There is a different kind of beauty when you break or integrate things in
science.
> poems. So, 'svEccha' got to have a sense of the 'law and order'. If so,
Using the same word 'svEccha' for freedom,law and order, ego etc is
confusing unless you explicitly explain.
Some of the points are 'chemically' disputable! But, I think that's tolerable.
Ex: When compounds are formed, the elements don't really lose their IDENTITY.
They may lose some of their aspects and gain new ones. But oxygen exists
in water too. May be we can say, oxygen loses 'ego'!

i would like to interpret 'visphulinga' differently. It's neither in oxygen
nor in hydrgen. It's something different from these that causes them unite.
So, it's like a 'spark of j~nAna' from other sources a guru (no laghu:-) )
or whatever that stimulates and enlightens the 'egoistic' or 'ignorant'
mind. That's knowledge. That's consciousness. That's energy. That's what
you don't have from the elements before the reaction. But after the reaction,
the 'enlightened' is another source/sink(storehouse) of energy.
(Rxn produces/consumes energy). The visphulinga is the activation energy
of the rxn.

Prof. Susarla Dakshinamuri(first name ?) at Dept of Chemical Engg,
Andhra University has very interesting compositions like this.
His sons were with me at IITK and they showed me some. If I can get them
now, I will post them here.
Here are a few lines from one of my uncompleted kavita. (Just to note
the similarity in thought)
On Dynamism:
parama ushNam sunna kAdu prakRteppuDu parugu dIstundi
gAli kaNamulu kshaNamu ainA kadalakunDA nilici yunTAyA?
paina sthabdata kaligi yunnaa, parama aNuvulu prakampistAyi
niScalatvamu kAdu satyamu nitya SOdhanayE!
mUgajIvula kaina gAni manasu lOpala palukucunTundi
kAlameppuDu kshaNamu kUDaa kadalakunDA AgananTundi.
The implication is: the universe is dynamic.
