The Brain and Mind
*****************
Friends, long ago, way back in December 2004, I purchased a book from the Book Fair,exhibited at the Exhibition Ground, Bhubaneswar. The book was on- "The Brain- A Precious Possession", authored by Prof. Gomathy Gopinath, the distinguished neurologist, working in the AIIMS,New Delhi. The book was published by the National Book Trust, India.
As of now, the then also,the book was a best seller one, as it was on popularization of Science topics among the people.
I was exhilarated , having the book. Coming to home, I was totally engrossed in reading the book, which interested me very much.
Friends, now we will discuss- What is Brain and what is Mind.We think that Brain and Mind is the same thing. But, no -they are not , they are different.
According to Prof. Gopinath-" The Brain is the band- master of the body and the Mind controls the bodily activities and behaviour".
To know much more on the striking differences between the Brain and Mind, we have read the papers of Mr. J. Y. Kamhi,the famous Specialist in medical biochemistry, who puts the matters in a very scientific manner.
"The mind is the brain in action. The mind is the state, when the brain is alive and at work. When the brain is dead , the mind can not function."
Hence, we knew that the Brain is not the mind and the Mind is not not the Brain.
The Brain is the bio-machine, where as the Mind is a product of the living brain.
Now, we will discuss further more on Mind.
The Mind is a faculity of the metaphysical soul , not to be confused with the brain. The soul is located in the part of the brain, called the hypothalamus . Sitting on this seat,it controls the nervous system and through it various organs in the body.
Friends, now let me summarize on Mind.
Mind is all powerful. Mind is the King of all senses. Mind is the dynamic state of Life.
Mind is the root cause of everything a man does. It can mar a man , can Make a man.
Hence, it is the utmost necessity to cultivate the mind, to control the mind - to be a successful individual. Our ancient seers, sages, saints have laid much emphasis to control the mind. In Bhagwat Gita, we find the teachings on how to control the mind . Regular Yoga practices can control the mind. Swami Vivekanand studied the techniques of Yoga to control the mind.
Now, let us have a look - what Mahatma Gandhi said - "I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet". The famous philanthropist Jiddu Krishnamurthi too laid great emphasis on controlling the mind. He said that to understand the immeasurable, the Mind must be extraordinarily quiet ,still.
Friends, now you can realize the onus on controlling the mind factors for your self, your family and society as a whole.
Yes, mind can be brought under control. It is experienced that mind goes ,travels from one thing to other things in greater speed.Mind is super spreading by its own nature. So, to check mate the running mind ,we have to act upon : Oh, MIND! whither you are running...Relax Please.....
A good mind sees,seeks good things in every thing.
So, we can speak confidently that Good Mind , Good Find...
