This talks about 'the Easy Problem' and 'the Hard Problem' regarding

Consciousness. The first one is to distinguish between conscious and

unconscious mental occupation. This one is easy for the neuro-

scientists. The second one is to prove that subjective experience

arises from neural computation and so consciousness is an activity of

the brain. The neuroscientists believe they will find solutions to both

the problems, but religious thought, particularly advaita, believes

the other way.

 

Whatever it be, this 7-page article deserves to be read in full by

PraNAms to all advaitins.
