Science of faith

  A companion who stays with me always, no matter the situation. It is a sweet, beautiful bond; everyone searches for a friend like this without realizing they already have one. You may be confused about who this is. It is none other than You—the “You” who observes yourself while you are smiling, crying, or even in anger. While you eat, it watches and experiences through you, yet it never feels hunger. While you drink, it experiences the sensation, yet it never grows thirsty. When I try to describe it, I feel as though it is not merely “inside.” It remains present, watching the body as if it were standing outside of it. It is formless, indivisible, and a “no-thing.” Even now, while I am writing and my mind is focused on processing information, I feel myself being observed. There is a silent watcher behind the eyes, witnessing every single action and listening to every word that arises within me. Because of this observer, I feel a sense of detachment from my emotions: Am I truly sa...

  Our everyday activities are controlled and influenced by many outside factors, but I’m not talking about those. I want to focus purely on the internal—where reality influences our thoughts, dividing them into two categories: Sense Organ Thoughts and Brain Thoughts. 1. Sense Organ Thoughts These are always searching for ways to satisfy sensory needs. We can further classify these into two types: Fulfillment Needs: These are basic requirements. For example, if you are hungry, you simply need to eat. It could be curd rice or biryani; the goal is just to satisfy the hunger. Extending Needs: This happens when a need becomes specific and demanding. Instead of just “food,” it becomes a craving for a specific taste or an excessive amount. 2. Brain Thoughts Brain thoughts are highly productive and full of potential. However, the brain easily becomes a “servant” to the senses. When the sensory organs demand something, the brain engages and begins “extending” those thoughts—planning and o...

  The Mind: A Crazy, Running Horse 🐎 The human mind has long been compared to restless forces of nature, but perhaps one of the most apt metaphors is that of a crazy, running horse . It moves swiftly, sometimes wildly, carrying us forward whether we choose to follow it or not. At times it drags us, at times it inspires us, and often we find ourselves both the rider and the spectator, marveling at its unpredictable course. ​ The Restless Nature of Thought ​Even in moments demanding full focus—like driving—the mind rarely rests solely on the present task. It constantly leaps into the future , imagining upcoming possibilities, rehearsing scenarios, and projecting expectations. This anticipation becomes a defining characteristic of human experience: the child looking forward to the holiday, the worker anticipating the break. ​The paradox is striking : the very voice that reminds us, "You are spending most of your time thinking about the future," is itself one more thought.
