THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MIND AND BRAIN?
MIND IS NOT IN ANY ONE PLACE. EVERY CELL IN THIS BODY HAS ITS OWN INTELLIGENCE. THE BRAIN IS SITTING IN YOUR BODY, BUT MIND IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
ARE "MIND" AND "BRAIN" THE SAME THING?
👀👀
ANS : NO, THEY ARE NOT. LIKE YOUR LITTEL FINGER, THE BRAIN IS ALSO ANOTHER PART OF YOUR BODY - WITH A DIFFERENT FUNCTION, OF COURSE. CAN THE MIND BE ACTIVE WITHOUT A BRAIN? IT IS NOT JUST THE BRAIN. THE MIND CANNOT BE ACTIVE WITHOUT MANY THINGS. WE NEED NOT SCOOP OUT YOUR BRAINS TO TAKE AWAY THE ACTIVITY OF YOUR MIND. THAT CAN BE DONE IN SO MANY WAYS.
THE BRAIN IS A PHYSICAL THING. IT IS THE BODY. IT HAS A CERTAIN FUNCTION WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE MIND TO EXIST. BUT THE MIND IS A CERTAIN CONSEQUENCE AND ACTIVITY. FOR EXAMPLE, SUPPOSE YOU ARE SPEAKING. YOUR SPEECH EXISTS. IF YOU STOP SPEAKING AND SIT QUIETLY, WHERE IS YOUR SPEECH? IS IT SITTING AND WAITING IN YOUR MOUTH? NO. IT JUST DOES NOT EXIST. YOUR SPEECH EXISTS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT ACTIVITY. OTHERWISE, IT DOES NOT.
💫💫
SIMILARLY WITH YOUR MIND, YOUR MIND EXISTS ONLY IN ITS ACTIVITY. IF YOU TAKE OFF THE ACTIVITY, IT DOES NOT EXISTS. IT IS NOT A PHYSICAL OBJECT. WHERE IS YOUR MIND? IF YOU KNEW IT WAS, YOU WOULD HAVE FIXED IT BY NOW. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS BECAUSE IT EXISTS ONLY IN ITS ACTIVITY. BUT BRAIN IN A PHYSICAL OBJECT. THE BRAIN IS NOT ONLY ABOUT THOUGHTS AND THE OTHER THINGS WHICH YOU REFER TO A "MIND". IT ALSO CONTROLS HOW YOUR LIVE, YOUR HEAR, EVEN HOW YOUR LITTLE FINGER SHOULD FUNCTION.
THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT ARE THEY CONNECTED? DEFINITELY - EVERYTHIG IS CONNECTED. EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY IS CONNECTED. EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY HAS ITS OWN MIND. YOUR GENES CARRY MEMORY AND ACT OUT THAT MEMORY. THAT IS A KIND OF A MIND.
IN YOGA, WE LOOK AT A HUMAN BEING AS FIVE SHEATHS OF BODY. THREE ARE PHYSICAL REALITIES, THE OTHER TWO ARE IN A DIFFERENT REALM. THE THREE - PHYSICAL BODY, MENTAL BODY AND ENERGY BODY - ARE ALL PHYSICAL, AND THEY CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT EACH OTHER. THE PHYSICAL BODY IS PHYSICAL, YOU CAN SEE IT. BUT THERE IS A MENTAL BODY THAT YOU CANNOT SEE. EVERY CELL IN THIS BODY HAS ITS OWN INTELLIGENCE, THIS IS A MENTAL BODY. THE BRAIN IS SITTING IN YOUR HAND, BUT THE MIND IS NOT IN ANY ONE PLACE, IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS A CERTAIN ACTIVITY. IF YOU CEASE THE ACTIVITY, THEN THE MIND DOES NOT EXIST.

IT YOU TURN OFF THE MIND, IT IS NOT JUST OFF - IT CEASES TO EXIST. IF OU TURN ON IT ON, IT IS AGAIN THERE. IT IS LIKE A CINEMA. WHEN A CINEMA IS ON, IT IS MORE REAL THAN REAL. THEN, WITH JUST ONE SWITCH, IT VANISHES. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER A WAR SCENE IS GOING ON OR A LOVE SCENE IS GOING ON, YOU TURN OFF ONE POWER SWITCH, IT IS GONE. MIND IS JUST LIKE THAT. A BIG DRAMA IS GOING ON WHICH IS SO REAL, I YOUR EXPERIENCE OF LIFE, WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR MIND IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE OF YOU. WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTION SAYS, IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT THE WORLD IS SAYING. BUT IF YOU TURN IT OFF, IT SUDDENLY CEASES TO EXIST. THEN YOU SEE THE RIDICULOUS NATURE OF YOUR MIND. IT CREATES SUCH A DRAMA, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY SO FRAGILE. IT IS LIKE A CINEMA - YOU TURN IT OFF, IT IS FINISHED.
IF IT BECOMES A CONSCIOUS CINEMA, THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CINEMA. LET US SAY YOU HAVE A DVD IN YOUR HOUSE AND ALL THE WALLS IN YOUR HOUSE ARE SCREENS. IF THE SAME MOVIE IS PLAING ALL THE TIME, AND THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE MIND IS OUT OF CONTROL, WE SAY THAT PERSON IS MAD. I AM NOT SAYING YOUR MOVIE IS BAD. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIN DOF MOVIE IT IS , IF IT IS ON ALL THE TIME, IT IS A HORROR. YOU CAN ENJOY THE MOVIE ONLY IF YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU WANT. THEN IT IS A WONDERFUL MOVIE.
