working process. Truth is that our 'mind' and 'brain' are different, yet they work in perfect harmony with each
other. If we understand their unity and dissimilarity, then the door to their inherent infinite possibilities opens up
automatically; otherwise in the deep confusion of 'mind' and 'brain' being one and the same, this opportunity of
our human life may get slipped.
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BRAIN AND MIND
BRAIN
MIND
As a part of our human body, our brain is a very
complex - biological structure. Mind is our invisible - psychological capability, which
is impossible to grasp with our gross vision. Yet, it is
possible to know the different layers and levels of
our mind by Yogic meditational practices.
Our brain weighs around 1.5 kg and is made of a
complex network of billions of nerves. It is impossible to determine any magnitude of our
mind because it contracts and elaborates by its own
ever-continuing though process.
The creation and structure of our brain is based on
our race or sect in this life. The character and quality of our mind is shaped by
the ethos, moral norms, and values collected by us
over our various births and lives.
The function of our Brain is to think, choose, plan,
evaluate, implement and control. There are various layers of habits, values and
traditions inside our mind which are gathered by us
over our different birth-cycles. It is on the basis of
these layers that our brain works and makes
decisions.
Our brain functioning capability depends on the
biological factors of youth and old age. The functionality of our mind gets decided by the
divine rules of our "Karma."
Our brain is always concentrated on others, whether
it is our thoughts, emotions, and body parts. Our mind can not only concentrate on others, but it
also can focus on itself and in its focus, it has the
capability to go beyond itself and into our "Divine
Existence" - this "going-beyond" is the ultimate basic
principle of all spiritual practices.
Our brain is completely unfamiliar with Divine
theories, Brahma's Creation and the Cosmic
functioning. Within the depth of our mind's layers, we inherit
from our birth(s) a considerable information about
our "Bramha-Existence" and Divine Principles of
governing it.
Our brain has two major divisions, in which our
powers of logic and emotions arise and get
controlled. Along with its layers of ethos and values, our mind
also has a prominence of "ego," an ego which
attaches a belief of "Me-Mine." With every emotions
and happenings and thus further strengthens its
constructed beliefs.
Our brain is not just a part of the body, in its
complex structure, but there lie many un-manifested
possibilities and capabilities. Our mind exists in our brain and body, yet not a part
of our body. With the help of the divine powers of
our mind, we can manifest and energize the
tremendous potential lying in our brain.
To do any treatment or corrective cure of our brain is
the work of the medical science. To do ant correction, treatment or transformation of
our mind is a process done by yogic practices and
meditative disciplines.
