Mind is not only a means by which
one can think and question, but it has a much more capacity than that.
Thinking, questioning and recognizing are the intellectual aspect of the mind
which are quite necessary. If one probes further there is another most
important function that the mind does that is to reflect. Reflecting from
where? From where do the ideas originate in us? Could ideas get created
separately apart from the thinking mind? This is what is needed to think to know
more about mind and its dwelling.
We know that life has never had a beginning and so
can have no end. In such an event we are unable to date the origin of idea. We
humans are thinking species since ages on this earth and implemented our
thinking capacity to benefit our lifestyle. So our ideas have been bettered and
have shaped for good since millions of years. How has these ideas been passed
on to the generation and generation over so many million years????? Where were
these ideas present?????
Answer to these questions is that they are
impressed, implanted, imbibed on a substance which theology calls it SUBTLE
body or ASTRAL Body (Sukshma Deha). This Subtle body is our Mind and Intellect.
Not even a small data is lost and every impressions, thoughts, feelings are
permanently ingrained. Therefore, the mind of every human being has the power
to reflect on many of its impressions under any conditions and at any
situation. Some may call it intuition, or instinct or sixth sense. Sukshma Deha
has the impressions of our unfulfilled ambitions and untold desires at the time
of death. To fulfill those ambitions and desire a new body is required in the
next life. Those unfulfilled impression and untold desire along with ideas and
reflecting mind constitute our Subtle Body or Astral Body. Now where this
dwells in an individual is most mysterious.
Sage Patanjala the author of Yoga Sutras identifies
heart as the seat of individual consciousness and the center of life and a
necessary organ for balancing the mind and to attain bodily equilibrium. TCM,
Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes heart as the bridge between the body
and the mind. Kundalini talks of Anahata Chakra (Heart Chakra) being the
associated with Unconditional Love, Compassion and Spiritual Growth.
“There is a brain within our
heart and there are neurons in our heart similar to the ones in our brain, and
the existence of neurons in our heart has led to the creation of a whole new
area called neurocardiology. Now we know that because of these neurons
our heart has a capacity to think. These neurons are like a wire that is
connected to the brain. Studies indicate that some of these neurons are going
directly to the brain without any intermediary. They are going from very
important sites in the heart to very strategic locations in the brain.” Says
Dr. Abdullah A. Abdulgader, Director of the Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in
Al-Hasa.
To justify this there is a case in America where
a woman by name Claire Sylvia received a heart transplant at a hospital in Yale,
Connecticut on May
29, 1988. Some years after the operation she felt like drinking beer,
something she wasn’t particularly fond of. Later, she observed an
uncontrollable urge to eat chicken nuggets and found herself wanting to visit
the popular chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken. She also
began craving for green peppers which was something she hadn’t particularly
liked before. Most unusually she started walking like a man. On investigating
further her daughter came to know that the donor of the heart for her mother
was a teenager Tim Lamirande who had met with a motorcycle accident in 1988. He
was addicted to chicken nuggets, green peppers and beer.
If this theory has no meaning how can a
Muslim kid of age 5 years recite 700 slokas of Bhagavad-Gita???? OR two and a
half year old kid could give a Tabala performance OR a three year kid could
tell the capital of 122 countries and 28 states of India, Science has to go
deep into this subject by consulting the ancient scriptures to get a break
through to this mystery.
Isn’t it????????????
like the tip of an iceberg, we only grasp a small part of what we are capable of, the true mystery of creation.
ReplyDeleteLike the tip of an iceberg, we are designed and capable of much more than is apparent. We seem to live in times, where suddenly there is an enormous paradigm shift, an abundance of new ideas, inventions and discoveries at an accelerated pace. The discovery of braincell like cells in the heart is unsurprising, in Spirituality, the heart has always been at the center of belief.
