The tiny 'bag' the human brain contains an eternal treasure, which if used cautiously, can offer the accomplishments and bliss of a divine life. However, no valuables would be of any use, unless one recognizes their worth and mode of application. For example, if a tribal who has never seen or heard of any jewel finds a precious diamond on a street, he will not be able to make any fortune from it. Similarly, for a child a pearl would be no better than a shining stone and he would throw the pearl away after playing with it for a short while.
That, conscious mind in the brain can think - is well known. The tasks of reading, writing, learning and teaching are also performed by it; this way its potentials are normally used for sustenance of livelihood and worldly success. If one seeks deeper insight and thoroughly links one's thought process with the eminence of truth and purity of knowledge, one might acquire some day, the honored status of a saintly scholar or a revered erudite. This could be accomplished even if he or she does not possess any material wealth or higher social status.
The root of inspiration is also contained in the core of the brain. The direction of thinking is guided by this inner power which in turn governs one's behavior and deeds. Looking at one's lifestyle, mannerism and activities, we can easily infer the level and direction of his thinking. In short, one's character and life is largely shaped by his thoughts, by the inspirations of his mind.
Unraveling still deeper layer in the core og the brain show a greater reservoir of the 'gems and pearls 'gems and pearls' of astonishing powers. Realizations of this source of immense potential and cautious attempts to channelize and make use of the associated streams of mental and spiritual currents can elevate one's life from an ordinary to an extraordinary, glorious level.
In terms of structure, physiology and biochemistry, the human brain appears to be a living reservoir of electrical power instead of an organ made up of flesh and bones. Its millisecond-to-millisecond activities compare with that of a huge (electrical) power station. It seems as if God has kept a magical box in the compact basket of the skull. The sensitivity, creativity and level of consciousness of the brain is so high as compared to the other organs of human body that one could consider it as the core of the very existence of a human being.
At functional level a human brain has two parts. One, that encompasses the activities of the mind and the intellect,. The faculties of thinking logic, analysis and decision making etc are governed by this part. The other part stores the memories, habits and inherent tendencies, this part also controls the motor and sensory functions of the body. Blood flow through the veins and arteries, consistent pumping of the heart, maintenance of the respiratory cycle, compression and expansion of the muscles, automatic twinkling of eyelids, regularization of metabolism, sleep, hunger, urination, motions etc - are all activated and controlled continuously be the unconscious mind existing in the latter half of the brain. This could be termed as the latent mind.
Each organ of the body is like an instrument, which is well equipped with sophisticated components. But none of these can function automatically without the supply of energy and regulatory instructions from the unconscious mind. Despite extensive research on human brain, much of it, especially the unconscious mind still remains un-deciphered.
The conscious mind sleeps during the night. It faints due to intoxication or anesthesia. In an instance of local anesthesia - when a particular portion of the body is temporarily made unconscious, the nerves connecting this organ with the conscious portion of the brain are inactivated. Thus, the signals of pain induced by a surgical operation of that particular organ do not reach the conscious mind and so the operation is performed painlessly. It is the conscious mind that gets agitated or excited and suffers from mental disorders.
Treatments in the mental hospital are focused at the patient's conscious mind only. Medications of psychiatric disease comprise of targeting and controlling this conscious faculty of the brain with respect to specific damage or abnormality. Though substantial progress has been made in understanding regulating and refining the conscious mind, the researchers of psychology and neurosciences have so far analyzed only negligible fraction of the unconscious (including the subconscious and super conscious) mind. The auto regulation, physiological and other bodily functions are found to be normal in an insane person who is otherwise healthy. Such observation shows that insanity or disorders of the conscious mind have negligible effects on the auto regulatory activities of the unconscious mind.
