What is mind?Mind does not have any physical character, at times used as synonymous to the soul. But I do not agree, as soul has no attribute or characteristic...but mind has.
Few neuroscientists, such as the Nobel Prize recipient Sir John Eccles, asserted that the mind is distinct from the body, but most of them now believe that all aspects of mind, which are often equated with consciousness, are likely to be explained in a more materialistic way as the behavior of neuronal cells. In the opinion of the famous neurophysiologist José Maria Delgado (5) "it is preferable to consider the mind as a functional entity devoid of metaphysical or religious implications per se and related only to the existence of a brain and to the reception of sensory inputs".
This question can be purely philosophical. But the scientists have understood to some extent that the most complex human behavior, i;e; the phenomena of consciousness, attention and thought, is induced by brain mechanism.
The brain mechanism is the key behind the creation and evolution of human society, because it is strong and complex enough to answer for mysteries of learning, memory, emotion, creativity, consciousness, mystical-religious experience and even madness!
With all its vastness and complexities, brain mechanisms play in tandem to make a human what it should be like. The mind is the single most powerful weapon we have. Just as the nuclear power, the mind has its dark side as well.
The dark side of mind can make a mess out of a life. Let us overpower that dark force and get the best of what a beautiful mind can offer: Peace, Love, Excellence, Beauty, Reason, Balance and more.
