What is thought?

-



While pondering about what thought is about, the following questions naturally occur: where does it come from? How does thought influence us? How potent is thought? What is the form of thought? What is its color? What are the ways to change the texture of thoughts? What are the benefits we gain from thought? In actual fact, every thought has its form and color, too. In the same way, thoughts have vitality of their own. ‘Thought-element’ in invisible and it cannot be seen with our external eyes. Thoughts originate from atoms, and they are so subtle that we cannot imagine. The smaller the particle, the more potent it becomes. So, thought being the tiniest particle is regarded to have possessed the greater force than those of electricity and others.

Animate and subtle things possess greater than strength inanimate things. For example, clay is finer than stone; as such clay is stronger than stone. Comparatively speaking, clay is less inanimate than stone, as a result clay has more vitality than stone. As compared to clay, water is more refined and subtler than clay. As a result, the latter is more useful and powerful than the former, Vapor is more subtle than water and air is thinner and stronger than vapor. Ether or sound is subtler than air. Compared to sound, light moves faster than. Similarly compared to light, the energy of electricity is subtler and stronger. But the strength of thought is greater than that of electricity. Although there may be many things in Earth which moves faster than thought, we are not yet aware of their existence.

The mind lies beyond the realm of the senses, so the wisdom beyond the realm of the mind, the cosmic intelligence beyond the realm of wisdom, the unmanifested name or nature beyond the realm of the cosmic intelligence and the Ultimate Reality beyond the realm of the unmanifested name or nature.
In this way, one is stronger and subtler than the other on the scale. An American scholar has stated, light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second and thought travels at the speed between 400000000000000000 to 700000000000000000 miles per second. Thought waves are fragmented and are impeded to some extent by sunlight. During the night or when it is dark, the speed of thought – waves is greater than at any other time and there is nothing to obstruct its force.

Mutual influence of the brain

When waves of love, protest, praise or contempt are released from one's brain, they have their impact on the brains of others producing similar emotions. If you love someone his response will be similar. It acts both ways.The sentiments arising in you will produce similar sentiments in others and vice- versa. Mind is closely related to the brain.The hollow inside the brain is a primary source of thought. The brain-sky is a part of the all, embracing greater sky. When thoughts or wishes take shape in the brain-sky, they travel towards the greater sky by means of air. Or the subtle waves of will-power will move out of the confining curtain of the brain and they will spread out in the greater sky at a fast pace, if they are strong. If they are weak or feeble, they will just manage to penetrate the brain Curtain and get lost after traveling a short distance.

Factors causing the weakness of the brain

Improper foods, polluted air, dirty clothes, unwashed body excessive thinking, and intake of alcoholic beverages, tight dresses, and tight shoes put pressure on the brain. Excessive physics excercise and total absentation from physical exercise both cause harm to the brain. To live in the midst of alarm and to assume a wrong posture while reading in something that harms the brain very much. Similarly if you do physical exercise while you are hungry and if you read, write or meditate deeply immediately after a heavy meal, it will cause damage to your brain and stomach because stomach attracts blood for digestive purpose and brain attracts blood towards it for mental activities. In case the thing we should remember is that no intellectual excertion should follow immediately after meal. In the same way meat, sour and pungent things, dry cereals, stale and rotten grains, slow digestible foods, opium, cannabis and other toxic drugs, alcoholic drinks like toddy, tobacco, excessive sexual...

Mental power

When the brain is engaged in the thought- process it leads to the increment of same kind of natural randhras (pores) in its gross part.When we dissect the human body after death, we find that if it is that of an intellectual person, the brain is larger and has more grooves than that of ordinary people. The greater the number of grooves, the wider the size of the adipose tissue which lies close to the thought-process. Similarly, the gross part of the body and the brain can be increased in size by means of physical exercise. Hence, those who wish to improve and develop them should exercise the thought process on a daily basis. This will also lead to the rapid improvement of other natural processes, producing corresponding betterment in our physical and mental development at greater speed and with more effect.This process should follow a definite course. Once it has run its full course, our mental faculty will be improved to such an extent that our ability to deal with ordinary question...
