Human
mind has some limits. It is our biggest mistake to believe that our mind is the
center of our intelligence, but in reality, the mind is just the topmost layer
covering our potential and intelligence. We have with us many centers, which are
of much more power and intensity of intelligence.
Whether
we call them our inner minds or hidden centers of various powers, it does not
make any difference. But the mind in which we live has its own limitations and
due to its limitations, man is so unsuccessful.
A human
being is a creature bound within certain limits. We can hear loud sounds, but if
the sound gets louder, then after a certain limit we are unable to hear the
sound. At this moment, there are so many vibrations going on in the Universe,
producing so loud a sound that even if we hear those sounds for a single moment,
we would die. But we cannot hear these noises, as they are not within our
hearing range.
In the
same way, if someone starts talking in a very low voice, then after sometime, he
might speak in such a low voice that we might not be able to hear his voice.
This is because we can't hear sounds that are below a certain limit. Millions of
vibrations are constantly occurring in the world, but our ears can hear only
32,409 types of vibrations (tremors).
Even
our eyes have certain limitations. An aircraft flying in the sky slowly moves
away from us. As it moves away from us, after some time we are unable to see the
aircraft. The aircraft has not vanished, it is still flying, but it has gone
beyond the limit of the vision of our eyes. In the same way, if some object
comes very near our eyes, then also we are unable to see the object.
Same is
the case with temperature. What is the temperature of the sun? If we ask this
question to a scientist, he would say that they cannot measure the temperature
of the Sun. On the snow covered slopes of the Himalayas, what would be the
temperature of the deepest layer of ice? How many degrees below Zero? No
scientist would be able to answer this question as well.
Our
body can endure a temperature within the limit of 92° F to 108° F. A human being
is thus bound within limits even in the case of temperature. In the vast rage of
temperatures of this world, we exist only between temperatures within the range
of 15-16 degree centigrade. If the temperature varies above or below these
degrees, we are declared dead.
Where
there is no mind, there cannot be any agony, worry, grudge, enmity, or any kind
of rupture. Where there is mind, we have tyranny, turbulence, disturbance or
persecution. There is a disturbance in life. If we try to focus on the knowledge
that we possess, we just have some good and bad incidents in memory and worries
of future. This is what we call as knowledge. Only this is the asset of our
life, and in reality it is responsible for the destruction of our own selves at
the end.
