The Truth
How can we see a relation between body and mind .
As in our previous lesson we read about perception .Let us talk in that sense .
When I was born ,I don't remember how I felt.
But the stages of life that I can still remember ,makes me to feel that -
I was very passionate about things .
The fruits used to be more tastier .
Life used to be very colourful .
I was more determinate.
and so on every feeling was intense .
It seemed that I have to prove myself in this huge universe .
Things use to be very positive and looked pretty useful.
My curiosity about life brought each and every aspect of life to me as a question to be resolved .
My each question answered by an absurd experience of life .It dragged me in a world where those colours of life diminished .But it was not only a dumb fallout.The process of balancing of nature was brought out here too.Now the change in perception of life is like ..I became more humble , more tranquilized , less reactant and more tolerant.(Seriously, there is no other option.)
Our effort towards any objective make us more determinant .But finally reaching towards the goal your perception of life changes.Now you look at the world from that height.So it all shows that you look at any incidence just from your current position .Can't get too much close to other two sides ...lower and upper heights of life.
Go back to the question what is mind...
The very part of our conciousness that is feeling these ups and downs of life and is affected by these positivity and negativity is "mind".It gets happy and sad while passing through this lifespan.When it gets sad it affects our body negatively and when gets happy rejuvinates us. But there is something that is always on the way of learning by work and experiences.Thats our brain where information is stored.
This information is not only stored in the brain .Those information that are highly impressive and get deeper and deeper in memory where from they start converting into a habit of a soul that in turn become the nature of an identity .These when enter deep into consciousness taken with you in the upcoming lives .In this way you keep on learning and get promoted to other higher levels of consciousness. That's why it is said always try to be better. It doesn't mean that you should always do good only then you will be better .No ,its not that simple ,you have to learn the lessons of life and over it you have to be good. :-) .You are doing both things for you ...it doesn't matter who is doing wrong with you .Let me tell you in a simple way .
If you are good , even then ill treated by people means you need to learn more .First you will save yourself only then you could be good.Finally you have to be good that can take you to upper level of consciousness.
So lets listen to a amazing bhajan by Adiguru Shankaracharya that will give you a real perception of this world .
