In human life there is a free and complete meaning beyond the periphery of thoughts. This meaning could be deciphered only with the help of inner intuitions and awareness. This research should not be based on "cause & effect theory" or influenced by worldly situation but come from within; the Pragnya (Gray Matter).

So far, materialism has been given prominence over natural brain. The study of psychology started with a perspective; "there should be some reason". Freud, Jung, Hobbs were among those thinkers or psychologists. They did not bother to understand the brain and just by studying the working patterns of mind, reached a conclusion that "struggle is the prime behavior of all human beings and that is why there is a struggle between mind and life". This is actually the main theory of Freud and he considered sexual desires as prime reason in this struggle. The other psychologists agreed with this basic principle but gave different reasons. Similarly, Freud also concluded that every struggle is inspired by death and the whole mankind is governed by this inspiration. In other words, struggle leads towards destruction and the humans are driven by this.

Dwarfing the Darwin

For once, we shall agree that struggle is the fundamental inspiration of the human life. The question, then, arises is that from which inspirations great people like Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Lao-Et-Se etc. were elevated? This is something to ponder. The examples of portraying "false logic" under disguise of "pure logic" has been happening more or less in all the ages. Psychology is just a thinking process and based on analyses / assumptions. On the scientists?ont, it is not that all their analyses are devoid of logic and only based on facts. Somewhere the theory is based on the facts and some parts are creations of imagination. The living example is in the Darwin's theory of evolution.

The principle of undeveloped, underdeveloped and developed creatures is mainly based on facts. The theory about human evolution is, however, not correct and seems to be an assumption made on the basis of other theories. According to Darwin's theory, Dryopethicus mammals were evolved in three species. First came Gorilla from Dryopethicus Panjaboy, that evolved in to Dyropethicus Gemanoy (Chimpanzee) and then Dyropethicus Darwinian or the man. The question is, "How the five-five and a half feet human evolved from two and a half feet Gorilla? How the transformation from four-legged creature to two-legged human occurred? How the human brain of 2000 cubic centimeters evolved from merely 150-200 cubic centimeters of Dryopethicus? How did this miracle happen? Even if the theory is true, then how come we still find Gorillas and Chimpanzees today? Why have the brains of the Gorillas and Chimpanzees not fully developed till now? Since there has not been any other competitive theory, Darwin's theory has been sort of accepted in silence. There are many lapses and missing links but the scientists are quite about them. Darwin failed to explain the evolution of the early cave man with regret and the matter has since been closed. Do not we feel that instead of accepting Darwin's ambiguous theory, the process of evolution should be studied again with new perspectives? Rather, should we accept the slavery of human mind in to imaginative apparatus? It is alright to relate working procedures to machinery and equipment. However, it is a great mistake to describe the natural human consciousness as a working procedure or formula. The same working procedure is what we call mind - an illusion.

We have to understand that Human beings are not just creatures but a leap of consciousness (and Pragnya) from the existence of life. This is not progressive, categorical or graded revolution but a spontaneous and surpassing revolution. Famous psychologist Eric Farm has totally discredited Freud and Darwin's principles as produces of thoughts and the mechanical process of mind. He has accepted life as a flow of consciousness. How the thoughts, which are illusory, can then touch this flow? He further asserted that the riddle of life cannot be solved by thinking and only a mentally healthy person can find an answer. This conclusion prompted a definition of the mental health. Mental health means what? We can contemplate it as follows;

Brain Vs Science

The culture and condition of this health does not change even if the time changes. It has the capacity to love and rebuild and is free from race, creed and country. It is an assemblage of various powers and exists on awareness. It has the deftness to assess the inner and outer worlds and their truth and is well aware how to discern a thing or an event with pure logic, as it is in that moment. A person who has all these qualities is mentally healthy (or living in Pragnya). If such is the definition of mental health, everybody else is mentally sick or retarded (Sane Society: Page No. 69). This definition of Eric Farm is similar to other definitions given in the Vedas. The following four major sayings are as much analogous to the same;

Pragnya Nah Brahma (Wrigveda)

Aham Brahmasmi (Yazurveda)

Tatvamasi (Saamveda)

Ayaatma Brahma (Atharveda)

We may appreciate science for its way of looking at the things. They do not want to find the truth the way they have perceived it. Rather, they look in to the things the way they are accept the outcome and consider that as a truth. Means, they are not pre-decided about anything. This is, in fact, very similar to the symbolic meaning of religions.

Science is scaling new heights as the time goes by. On all scientific fronts, be it humans, space, quantum physics or biology, science has redefined many of the earlier definitions and principles. As the new facts are being discovered through advanced research and technology, perceptions are getting clearer. Science has, however, erred in defining facts based on mere indications and predictions. Even today, most of the analyses are depended on preliminary tests and signs. Even if science has no knowledge of an event or object, it can establish a postulation based on indications and tests. In medical science, for instance, there is an absolute cure for only four or five ailments. Rest all is guesswork. The doctors do not know the properties and characteristics of a virus or bacteria causing the sickness but can suggest a cure based on the symptoms. Besides, there have been contradictions among the scientific discoveries themselves. Since the whole truth cannot be established, the scientific community has the right to either accept or reject it. As a result, many scientists work in isolation. It has both, advantages and disadvantages. Each solitary scientist may come up with a revolutionary discovery. On the other hand, a partial discovery may get ignored even if there was some truth in it. In far-off places and villages, the doctors are still indifferent to modern science.

An ordinary person remains ignorant about what is going on in the scientific world. Mankind has been paying a great price for it. A person going to a doctor is completely at his mercy. Whether the doctor is experimenting on him or actually curing remains unknown. Due to scientific contradictions and uncertainties, modern science has become a game. Without fully knowing the atom, they have embarked upon breaking it up and using the fusion energy as a destructive force. It might cost us very dear in coming future.

Scientists, on the other hand, know their limitations very well. All they can do is use the available information, research data, and principles and somehow try to establish a system. They do not want to understand Nature, but have learnt to use it to their advantage. When they dissect a matter, new frontiers open up for them and new possibilities emerge. That makes them believe that what they are doing is right. All their, discoveries, however, end with an "unknown" phenomenon. Since they consider every living thing as a biological composition, they do not want to go beyond the body and its feelings. A very few of the scientists, who reach the ultimate heights in their research, finally discover that there is a bigger "unknown" then what they have found. They have the capability to discover "what has taken place" but not "why it has taken place". They have learnt about nuclear fusion, but failed to understand where the energy of such magnitude is coming from. Scientists have the same brain as other human beings. They have, therefore, not discovered the truth between mind and the natural brain. They believe in the Cortex, but have no inkling about the illusory mind or "I", for they are themselves are living in it. Therefore, a mind will only know what it has learnt. Scientists may have a higher sense of things due to their past lives. Almost all of the great scientists, including Einstein, have accepted the fact in their last days, that, "there is some higher power or energy ruling this universe". Pity, they could not understand and discover Pragnya (TSGM) which is part of the flow of Nature and the supreme power itself.

We can recall Einstein's statement;

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us - universe; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separated from the rest; a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection of a few people near to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion, to embrace all living creatures and the whole Nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for it, is itself, a part of liberation and a foundation for inner security."

A Brain in Pragnya

To become Pragnya (TSGM) or natural brain (become one with the Nature in thoughtless state of mind) is simply to discard the thinking process of the mind. We do not have to remove the mind but remove its governance over the brain. Once the realization comes, the thinker transforms in to Pragnya (TSGM). The mind itself understands the false world it has created through social relationships, emotional bonds, love, desires, lusts, ambitions, intelligence etc. and comes out of it. It becomes empty and a voice emerges from within that "I do not want to be anything and get nothing". This is the time when the brain becomes natural again and the person feels eternal peace. This is Pragnya and this is what we call liberation.

Known philosopher J.Krishnamurti describes the Pragnyawan as follows;

"We must have an insight. We must fully understand the commotion and doubts in the mind. After such understanding has dawned, an impossible question emerges in the mind, "How and when will a complete picture of the mind come about?" Whether we will be able to open and display the whole consciousness of ours? And if such a task is possible in one instance in our lifetime? Whether it will be possible to keep aside the complete mechanical process of mind."

Do we really have the answers to these questions? Try and see if your mind is acknowledging and accepting these questions. If it does not, it is better to keep away from this subject. If your mind has all the answers, it means it does not want to be free. Basically, your mind should be open and it would be sufficient to say, "I do not know" or "I have no knowledge". If your mind does not reach for a book to answer these questions, if it does not expect that the answers can be found with someone else and if it is not inclined to go to so-called religious gurus and priests, then this is the actual natural state of mind. When the mind acknowledges, "I really do not know anything", it is a beginning. We usually live under an illusion that "I understand everything". We think, "I understand the world, my wife, society, religion, professional life, education etc". We never start with; "I do not understand anything".

What if the mind balances on the ground of complete "unknown"? Do get confused that it will become lonely. In our present state of mind, when mind is doing hundreds of pointless activities at one time. We cannot comprehend the state of thoughtlessness. Since the mind is so used to "doing" things, that you will think, "what will you 'do' when you become thoughtless". We do not know that the brain in Pragnya is the most happening thing. It is one with the flow of the Nature and is not influenced by any culture. It is not limited in the past and future because such illusion has gone away with the thoughts. In that state it says, "I do not know anything". By saying this, it becomes natural and innocent. This is the state of Pragnya. There is no residue of the thoughts. Since there are no thoughts, all the presumptions, possibilities, predictions, prejudices, reservations etc. are washed away. The brain is free from the time and its limitations.

Do you understand how it has happened? Whatever you had stored in the depths of the mind has been wiped off. In fact, because of this your brain is in Pragnya. You have surpassed all what you had stored and come out of it untouched keeping a negative (neutral) outlook (not suppression). The meditation starts with Pragnya (TSGM). Whatever you have read is a part of it. You have to be, however, beware of the tricks of the mind. Even if the mind understands itself but is not emptied of the things as mentioned above, it will be caught in its own illusion. The liberation, then, will again be an illusion. (Conversations-II : J.Krishnamurti)

Famous philosopher Saint Ackhard has, however a different outlook towards Pragnya (TSGM). He says;

"Thoughtless, Pragnya-bound live moment is the gate of the Heaven. The infinitesimal way that leads towards is the way to true life. Ego or "I" has no way to emanate, if the awareness is witnessed in Pragnya (TSGM) within the live moment. In the live moment, there is actually no one to experience anything (Brain devoid of "I" is part of the live moment). It is just the live moment itself. That is why the last man on this earth will disappear the same time when God created the first man (Live moment is eternal; there is no past or future/beginning or end) because God has only one moment and that is the live moment."

In the same live moment Ackhard says;

"See this live moment with Pragnya (TSGM). See its beauty. See its divine light. Any person who is with this divine light is free from the past and future. He only witnesses the thoughtless sensitivity in the live moment. Every moment it is new and magnificent."

Shankarachrya has said "Aham Nirvikalpo, Nirakaro Rupo, Chidanand Rupo, Shivo Hum, Shivo hum". Translated it means - I am thoughtless, bodiless, blessed and pure. He is, actually referring to the state of Pragnya. Four Vedic Vedas, Six Scriptures, One hundred and eight Upanishads, Aagam-Nigam of Jains, Voice of Mahavir, Triptych, Dharmapada of Boddhas, Avestha of Parses, Guru Granth Sahib of Sikhs, Koran of Moslems, Puranas of Hindus, Gita, all the sages and saints of the world, reincarnations, Gurus, Messiahs, and liberated men (like Osho) have all acknowledged and emphasized on thing without any contradiction or mistake. That is - Elimination of Ego ("I").

In Osho Rajneesh's words - "Elimination or destruction of the self is God". This is the state of Pragnya. The problem is that we do not want to give up the worldly pleasures. We do seek the state of Pragnya but want to achieve it through the mind and thoughts, keeping the ego intact. This is impossible. Tell us, how can you become thoughtless without eliminating the thoughts? Is it ever possible? The answer is No. Our mind, which itself is an illusion, is attempting to discover the truth, peace and enlightenment. If we look at the world around us, we will realize that all the present discoveries have been the discoveries from the "I" for the "I". All the discoveries, whether religious (through mantras, prayers, beliefs, yoga, etc.) or worldly, are imaginary and materialistic. The medium of this search is thoughts. Why does not the question arise in our minds whether the thoughts are not trapping us in a web? Neither the religions nor science has bothered to investigate this matter. Now, what could be the reason behind this ignorance? Is it the "thought" (or "I") again? The possibility is as such. Because, once we are caught in the mechanism of thoughts or the thinking process, it is difficult to come out of it. Secondly, even after having the creations of thoughts like scriptures, Veda, beliefs, modern amenities and atomic powers, mankind does not seem to be happy. This clearly shows that it is not possible to bring about happiness and peace through the thoughts or thinking process.

We have seen in this chapter that the people who have had true realization were given to thoughtlessness and Pragnya. Therefore, we ought to ignore the way shown by the intellectuals and try to achieve the state of Pragnya through thoughtless brain. Does it not seem necessary?
