Do we think and how
What goes on in the brain when we
are thinking?
What becomes my thought?
Q.What operations take place in the grey
matter when we think?
A.
1. Coded impulses are received by the brain
from the five senses, and at appointed
spots in the grey matter are decoded.
2. This decoding is what one calls thinking and
whilst emerging out of the appointed
spots in the grey matter it is called ‘pure
mind-energy’.
3. This outgoing decoded impulse can be
either held in suspense i.e. ‘filed or
closed' (=given no outward expression),
4. or could be expressed by words or actions.
The ‘filed’ outgoing impulse is
suppressed thought.
the expression of an outgoing impulse in
words or deeds is called action.
Action / karma wrongly understood
X. Action is normally understood in Yoga as a
function of Karma; which is wrong
understanding about karma.
*Actually, it is the emerging ‘outgoing’ impulse (from
the appointed centers in the brain) which, in its
pristine state of pure or ‘unexpressed’ mindenergy, is called Karma.+
The specific expression in words or acts is further
modified by the dictates of
culture, character, education, circumstances, en
vironment, individual health, etc.
•
+As understood in the sense of a creative energy.
Karma is not bad or good karma.
karma is movement a step towards. Towards what ?
Towards the knowing or towards or away from the
way.
Injudicious use of Free will in thinking
•

In breathing and eating an injudicious use of our
free will would soon cause trouble and thus call
attention to it. In thinking, however, it is felt to be
one’s own absolute domain ordained to be free
from any kind of excess or misuse. We
are, therefore, tempted to feel that we are safe with
whatever misuse of free will we indulge in and
assume there will be no trouble.

•

This is a wide domain where one feels “I am the
master of all I survey, my right there is none to
dispute”. In this domain some paint pictures, some
compose songs or music, some do daydreaming, some cross bridges before coming to
them, some make progress, some go over the past
and some visualize the future. Everyone is confident
that this is absolute private ground and is all
harmless; for we have as yet given nothing to
expression in words or acts. One perhaps even feels
that no Karma has been created!

•

As we cannot breath and eat anything that comes
our way, we select and choose to be healthy, so we
cant take in any thought that comes our way. Be
choosy in thoughts, films , songs, daily talks, sms’s
etc when u take in and accept.
Restrain vs free will
•

•
•
•

We normally don’t use FREE WILL
small things.
We do what ever our instinct says or
does.
This doesn’t let a solid foundation to
develop in the core of our
personality.
Story of god and the fruit without the
seed

•
•

Restrain in small desires is the only
way to do the exercise and develop
mental muscles.
Each time we willingly do some thing
against our desire. Or choose to work
without expecting any reward or
payment form, we develop the tiny
muscle of solid core. This core cannot
be disturbed as no disturbence has
created this.
Waves after decoding has 4 stages:
• The four states resulting
after coded impulses have
been received by the brain
and decoded are :
1. Pure mind-energy state,
2. Held in abeyance state, i.e.
thoughts suppressed,
3. Pure mind-energy not
expressed in acts but in
words or ‘mental pictures’
i.e. : day-dreaming,
4. Pure mind-energy expressed
in feeling and acts.

Pressure of LAW on the thoughts
•

•
•

•

“Actions will be judged according to
their intentions. That which is lawful
is clear and that which is unlawful
likewise, but there are certain
doubtful things between the two
from which it is equally well to
abstain.”
If u don’t understand some thing
whether its right or wrong don’t
attempt till you find out.
We say, however, that there is no
difference between the four states
explained above though there may be
difference in the eyes of the law. As
free as the texture of the thought is
basically, so is our free will in the pure
mind-energy state.
Its more easy to control PME than
thoughts suppressed . And thoughts
suppressed is easier to control than
feelings ,actions. So practice restrain
on thoughts .
Patanjali one of the first mind scientist
• Patanjali in his Yoga
Sutra, Book I, very clearly
explains what is so difficult
even in our days. He writes :
• Book I Stanzas
5. The mind’s states are five
and are subject to pleasure
or pain; they are painful or
not-painful.
• Pain and pleasure is the
button that can push us
anywhere. But we can go
beyond these buttons
Five modif of mind
6. These modifications
(activities) are
• correct knowledge,
• incorrect knowledge,
• Fancy (imagination)
• passivity (sleep) and
• memory.
Control of 5 modif
12. The control of these
modifications of the
internal organ of the
mind, is to be brought
about through
a. tireless endeavour and
b. non-attachment.
Control of 5 modif
12. The control of these
modifications of the internal
organ of the mind, is to be
brought about through
a. tireless endeavour and
b. through non-attachment.
13.Tireless endeavour is the constant
effort to restrain the
modifications of the mind. (Use of
free will in trifles).
Control of 5 modif
14.When the object to be gained
is sufficiently valued, and the
efforts towards its attainment
are persistently followed
without intermission, then the
steadiness of the mind
(restraint of the Chitta) is
secured.
8 obst
30. The obstacle to original cognition are
1. Bodily disability,
2. Mental inertia,
3. Wrong questioning,
4. Carelessness,
5. Laziness,
6. Lack of dispassion,
7. Erroneous perception,
8. Inability to achieve concentration.
4 MTs (mental tools)
33. The peace of the Chitta (or the mind) can be
brought about through the practice of four
tools:
1.
Sympathy,
2.
Tenderness,
3.
Steadiness of purpose and
4.
Dispassion in regard to pleasure or pain :
(Corrective methods).
One
superspear
34. The peace of the Chitta is
also brought about by the
regulation of the prana or
life breath. (Three-step
rhythmic breathing).
Section 4 is very different from
section1
37.The Chitta is stabilized and rendered free from
illusion as the lower nature is purified and
no longer indulged. (Change of the mind’s
‘basic ratio’ or the development of the
‘disinfection chamber’ as will be shown
later).
48. His perception is now unfailingly exact.
(Sections 2, 3 and 4 of mind developed)
49.This particular perception is unique and
reveals that which the rational mind (using
testimony, inference and dedication) cannot
reveal. (The operation of the Sections 3 and
4 of mind; Sec. 1 of the mind has its
limitations.)
•

What we refer to as Section I of the ‘grey
matter’ or brain, is mind Sec. I or what is in
Yoga called Kama-manas = “mind tinged with
feeling”. It is mistakenly also called the
“lower concrete mind”.
