Many thanks for your comments. It is quite interesting to see how you clasified the mind. I tend to see the brain and mind seperately all the time because i feel that the mind is nothing but a harmonised collection of organs – something like a team. A team wouldn’t mean anything, though it does wonderful jobs at times.

What you said about sitting back and looking where it takes is a wonderful idea. I tend to do that many times, i believe it comes naturally after a while as we learn things are out of our control by trying harder and harder only to see that the results are in the opposite direction.

I hope you will read and comment on other relevant topics in this website that are of interest to you.

I am not sure how i landed on this webpage but i must tell you the topics are interetsing and i am sure many of us would have attempted to know whats beyond.

I would like to mention about five things that the mind is always preocccupied with:- Right decision,wrong decision,sleep, imagination and memory and most of our life we spend shuffling amongst them such as dreams of a better future or memories from past or did i do this right or wrong.

The mind continously tries to hook us with above mentioned thoughts and because the mind is logically stuck betweeen them it needs a purpose in life.

I too have been surrounded by them and i am learning to walk past and witness this activity when my mind gets on to it. Instead of reacting, take a seat back and see where it takes you. Also i belive the subconscious mind knows everything and if before going to sleep you ask for help,guidance, answer to a problem or solution- somehow its just comes around to us.

I guess we all just have to trust life to lead us. There is a quote that says “Nature is cruel teacher but it always balance’s its books” and i believe it sure always does.

Good luck

Yes, i agree we are all supposed to do what we are supposed to do…by knowing our purpose doesnt mean we should restrict ourselves from doing what we are doing, isn’t it?

I should say i wouldn’t agree so much on the race between science and spirituality on understanding life’s purpose. Science restricts itself in many ways and dismisses feelings and ideas which do not have reason. Science looks for causality.

I am going to write an article on this topic, but to give an outline of what i am thinking, just assume the response of a blind man when asked to explain the colour red. He cant explain because his brain has not got the relevant visual input to understand the colour red. Our brain is just a computing machine, which will analyse all sorts of possibilities based on input. If the input is wrong, so will the computed result.

I believe the answer to the purpose of life can only come from a much higher capability that our intellect. It probably has to be felt (and understood?? ) by us individually..

I appreciate your comment. This is unimaginably confusing topic to intellectually address. There is no one in this world who can decisively tell the meaning of life and its purpose. I have read many books on this topic and what they all point at is the person who searches for the answer will find it, but the answer will be just for him, because the answer cannot be reasoned out with our limited brain and intelligence. Of course, Karma exists and we are all here to do what we are here to do and there is no denial. And as Karma states, may be we all have to just look for an answer to this question without any expectation that we will get answered.
