Mental Thoughts -- Science and our Dharma

[Guest guest]

Pranams.

 

I was reading a Neurubiological report on the process of Thoughts and decisions

a few days back and my mind was wandering between the two Extremes -- Science

and Philosophy.

 

The Pains taking Neuro research -- limited Knowledge of Science which Concludes

as not being aware of what is going on and the definite Knowledge of our

Maharishies which is eternal Truth, even in this space age is the substance of

this mail..

 

The panel of scientists say that there is no center in the brain where actions

are planned and thoughts are made. Thoughts and decisions emerge from a

collection of dynamic system that run in parallel and are underpinned by nerve

cells that talk to each other the Brain.

 

Before a thought occurs based on which a decision is made the brain computes the

myriad variables that influence each decision we Make -- genetic factors,

socially learned factors, momentory triggers including the Wishes and Commands.

 

All these Complex Variables are set at subconscious level and scients conclude

-- WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ALL THE FACTORS THAT MAKE US WHY BEHAVE IN A CERTAIN WAY.

 

In reply to this Conclusion let us ponder into what our Maharishies say on Mind

and Decisions.

 

Buddhi as the sum total of the inner organs, in contact with the reflected

consciousness has two aspects. one is called the egoity and the other mind.this

contact of buddhi with the reflected cosciousness is like the identity of red

hot iron ball with fire.

 

the identification of the ego with the body is due to past karma. the subtle

body which is the material cause of mind and ego experiences and exhuasts the

past karmas through the body and mind mechanisms.

 

Each Jiva which has inherited its own peculiar Karmas, acts differently to the

same situation by assimilating the circumstances in the light of latent

tendencies and experiences the pleasure or pain. In the Cosmic rule of Karma one

can experience pleasure even by murdering or causing pain to somebody. ( Eg

:recently , Wife Riggiani ordering the killing of her husband Fashion Supremo

Gucci )

 

Therfore Karmas are the only factors Driving Us to think differently and decide

to act in a way.

 

About Mind and Thoughts Itself what our Masters Say :

 

What is called mind is a wondrous power residing in the Self. It causes all

thoughts to arise as per one's Vasanas.. Apart from thoughts, there is no such

thing as Mind. therefore thought is the nature of mind. apart from thoughts

there is no independent entity called the world. in deep sleep there are no

thoughts and there is no world. in waking and dream there are thoughts and there

is a world also. when the mind comes out of the self, the world appears.

therefore when the world appears the self does not appear and when the self

appears or is evident the world does not appear as the mind will end leaving

self as residue. the mind always exists -- only in dependence on something gross

- it can not stay alone - it is the mind that is called the jiva.
