Hi all, hope u are enjoying your life happily...
The topic mental health I chose to write upon it because now a days I'm watching around the localities and the society in which we are all living is becoming hell for our mental health and no one wants to talk and understand about it so I came here to have some blogging and discussion to make people aware about it and to become self aware also.👼
The word mental came from the word mind which is residing in our head quietly. (👶quietly???) don't confuse the mind with the brain.
The brain is just a hardware, mind is the real thing we have to talk about (software of the brain).
Now the real question arises what is mind?
Mind is nothing but our habitual intelligence to question about everything that we hear, see or think? The habit is developed due to the evolution progress begins with our ansectors to make them survive in the harsh conditions of the wild. This intelligence helped a lot to the humans to call themselves beings, what we are now. But the evolution process must have been finished when the pure developed species formed, off course the humans.
However, it has not happened till now (how much development do you need ????)😕
How the Mind works?
Basically mind has two departments, for storing the data and for acting the instincts. Lets see...
It process the visual data what we see through our eyes, audible data what we see through our ears, tasty data (really???) what we taste through tongue, the touchy data what we feels through our whole body and the smelly data what we smells through our nose. Now the collected data get stored and the mind now questions the data that are you important for the survival for this body or not. If the answer is Yes than the body works according to survive itself.
Lets understand with an example,
Suppose you are walking through a forest and you saw a mango tree in which mangoes are hanging through the branches. The smell is so good that you cannot resist yourself by plucking them out and you examine and ate them. Whats now?? where is your mind??
There is always your mind working behind this scene... You saw a mango tree, smelling tasty and your mind processed the visual and smelly data that you acquired now. The mind then questions to the data that is it useful for the body?? the answer it finds yes. How???? there is no one to tell. How the answer is yes???
Now the answer is residing in our body because it is the nature which has made the body and it has its own intelligence. Prove it... consumption of heavy alcohol makes the body to vomit but the mind always forces it to drink more.... is it so or not? the body vomits the alcohol which is beyond its capacity and the mind forces it to drink more. There is a clash in between two intelligence.
Lets take more examples, when you are at the gym and you are doing heavy workout, now the body is becoming tired and wants to relax but your mind wants to do more exercise to impress your girlfriend whom do you listen... don't know
You are walking in the desert and your body is craving for water because it is desert and there is no water ha ha, let assume it. Suddenly you saw a pond in which water is present but it is filthy. Now the mind restricts you to drink it and body craves for it. what should you do????
In the clash between these two one should always win. whats the choice afterall???
Now the choice is only you the intellect. To make a choice is neither intelligence nor body, it is you yourself that has to make a decision. The intellect is also known as common sense now a days because it is not common afterall, hahaha.
The intellect is pure consciousness which is we do not know how it works because it is also known as God in religions and atma in Hindu scriptures.
What is a conscious decison to make in such a trauma conditions. we will know about it soon.....
