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.
