The law of conservation of energy only talks about energy strictly in the meaning of the word in physics, and certainly not about "energy" in the psychological definitions that you are mentioning.
You are confusing a theory from physics with a non-physical and non-scientific definition of the word "energy". The law of conservation of energy does not apply to "energy" as in "ego is an energy", "brain cells is an energy" etc.
Well, that's the law of conservation of energy. But it refers to a specific scientific concept. You can't just say "X is energy so it must be conserved", that's just word-play unless X is actually what physicists mean by "energy". I could even say "Chocolate is energy so why is there less chocolate after I eat it" but that wouldn't have anything to do with conservation of energy either.

You are saying these things are non-physical (Fine),but what actually it is ???

You could take the tack that a couple of billion years ago some chemicals got together and started to make some proteins, then some amino acids, then a little RNA, and so on, and that we're all just a continuation of that chemical reaction that started way back when. Just one looooooooooong chemical reaction.
Now I believe in the theory of evolution, I'm not a fan of the "intelligent design" orientation. With that said, I find I'm comforted in the belief that there's a little spark of some sort, in everyone, that survives when the body dies.
Spot false dilemmas now, ask me how!

I wonder why only living things were created from that chemical reactions not the non-living things like mobile phones, PC etc etc, I mean we could have found n number of other things as well though only it would have been a by-product.

I don't know but the law of conservation of energy has nothing to do with this.
I would guess that the law applies to classical physics (or physics before quantum mechanics is applied). With quantum mechanics, matter and energy are conserved together (ie. E equals MC Squared).
To throw another monkey wrench into the works. There are theories that propose that some subatomic particles can, under certain conditions, become it's own anti particle. This means that it is possible to create particles (along with their anti particles) out of nothing, and then have some of those particles switch -- effectively creating something from nothing... BTW, don't have more detail, as most of the theory went over my head.
