What exactly is the mind? It is a subtle piece of equipment fitted within the gross body. While science has made notable strides in comprehending the brain, the workings of the subtle mind remain a mystery. In fact, neurology is still confused whether there is a separate entity called the mind, or if the brain and the mind are the same thing.

Ancient books of wisdom explain that they are separate entities. The brain can be compared to the hardware, while the mind is the software that runs it. This explains why, even if the brain sustains damage, the mind can still function properly.

The mind is made from metaphysical energy, which is subtler than the physical neurons of the brain.

The distinction between brain and mind is evident in the case of plants. Despite lacking a brain, plants exhibit signs of possessing a mind. Fascinating experiments demonstrate how plants respond to the emotions of the gardener, thereby revealing the presence of a mind in plants as well. Like plants, flatworms also do not have a brain, and yet they perform intelligent functions.
