Answer 2

I really like Sunny's answer! I would only add that life, spirit, also has a source-- the Supreme Spirit-- known commonly as God or the Lord. Investigate more about the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and you will be getting to the heart of your question. The problem is that the Westernized religions and their scriptures contain very little solid information about Him. I would suggest you check into the Vedas, particularly the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam. Both of these literatures are available online here: http://www.krishna.com/e-books/

Answer 3

If you know what life is, then you know that life IS the essence.

Things come into being, and then they pass away. People as well. Ideas and feelings, they come into being and pass away, everything in this universe is temporary, including the universe itself. It came into being, and so it shall pass away.

But life moves through all these things, life animates animals, it causes the heart to beat and the lungs to breath. It makes the flowers blossom, and the leaves fall; It holds the earth in orbit around the sun, through the law of gravitation; It allows distant stars to be seen, through the phenomena of light, and the eyes and brain, and the mind to receive and interpret it; when the form is gone, life remains, and while the universe exists, life brings other forms, and other beings into existence, for a time; and when they are gone, life remains.

So maybe we can say SPIRIT is the essence of life.

If you know the essence, then you can move with it, you can dissolve into it, and you are no longer held in the world of appearances and disappearances, because you know the one thing that moves through them all. Then there is no death, no birth, only life.

Answer 4

"Essence"

Well that's something of a buzz word. When we say something is "essentially" something or other, we mean that the foundation of it is whatever we described it as being. Therefore, the "essence" of life is whatever life's foundation is.

Now when we say life, we can mean one of two things: life as in all living beings, creatures and plants, or we can mean conscious entities. If we go by the former, the "Essence" of life tends to be water. If we go by the latter, I would say desire: the thing that makes consciousnesses so useful is the ability to get things done, and that's acquired via motivation. So our desires allow us to progress. Without desires, there would really be no consciousness. Which, of course, would mean we're all in Nirvana or the like, but by that explanation, Nirvana is the absence of life. Go figure.

Answer 5

Light

Answer 6

YOU my dear, are the essence of life, as am I. It takes us all to make up our planet, and tend her. It is shameful that many have lost their way and refuse to uphold what our ancestors tried to pass on to us. Instant society will not last. It will be those of us who love and nurture each other and the planet we live on who will survive. Or we will pass peacefully on and will not know of the destruction of the world. Just my humble opinion. Good question.
