We experience happiness and satisfaction with our mind. So also we feel sorrow and suffer mental anguish with our mind. Deep-seated feelings like faith and devotion on the one hand and emotions like fear, anger, vengeance or enmity on the other hand arise and exist in the mind. Just as our mind can help to uplift and emancipate us it can also be responsible for ruining our lives. If this mind is removed from our body we will be as good as dead or as if we are in a coma. That is because we are just alive physically but we actually live mentally. What is meant by the statement that we live mentally? Man either lives as he pleases regardless of others or he keeps on suppressing his wishes and desires. What is this thing called ‘mind’ due to which we may have a pleasant/unbearable/blissful life after death and due to which we get trapped in the cycle of life and death? What exactly is this mind? One wonders whether anyone in this world will be able to answer this question!

All religions and saints have emphasized the importance of mind and how it should be conditioned in a proper manner. Psychologists have carried out considerable research on mental traumas and shocks. At the same time, they have also succeeded through hypnosis in discovering mental shocks experienced by people in their past lives.

Spiritual-Science has, however, carried out in-depth research on the exact nature of the mind. This research on mind will be presented in a book titled ‘Mana anadi anant’ which means the eternal mind. The mind is eternal because the independent existence of the eternal soul depends on the mind which envelopes the soul. When the soul merges or conjoins with the Source or Almighty God, the mind which had been enveloping it will also have merged with the mind of the Almighty God.
