Psychological implications…

In a recent post, we discussed the endless series of why questions that will occur whenever we ask why , we were giving the example given by the late and great Richard Feynman , of why Granny slipped on the ice ?, why was she taken to the hospital ? Why did her bone crack ? etc etc .

We might also ask why our minds and bodies act in certain ways , ? and sometimes, it seems beyond our control and certainty that it will also lead to other  endless why questions related to our history and existence and the deepest of all. Why did we leave the association of God ?

Practically speaking, everything is touched upon by  Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita . He describes the  power of mind over matter , in other words, how to control our minds and senses and use them at optimum levels for our benefits .  Krishna also describes the implications of letting them run wild , as well as the scientific connection between mind , matter, and a responsive universe that is always  formulating  future bodies to suit a particular mind and  its actions .

In the 11th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, there is an illustration of  these principles,  a caterpillar is caught by a wasp ,and is imprisoned by the wasp , the caterpillar is looking out of his prison , and is in deep concentration on the form of his enemy that wants to eat him , so  intense is his meditation , that his bodily structure begins to change , and instead of becoming a butterfly he became a wasp , and escaped his fate .

Rupa Goswami gives the example of deep meditations,  by the example of a  man so engrossed in a play , that when the main character of the play acted out his death , the man engrossed  in watching the play also died .

This scientific phenomenon of the dualism of mind and matter and the implications of the minds’ actions in this life, which lead to any number of future situations next life , should be taken seriously . One should immediately dismiss the Darwinians’ attempts to impose scientific materialism theories in social educational institutions. It’s an irresponsible and unscientific approach to body , mind, and consciousness reality , which all  every ancient cultures taught the reality of , that being the scientific position of dualism.
