Chapter I:
Origin of the Mind


It is very difficult to define Mind.


The Mind is something most abstract but on the other hand every person can feel and know its presence when we are conscious. It can exist in its primitive form in simple organisms like amoeba when we can observe its purposeful activities; or in its highly elaborated form we know of in human beings, manifested in inventions, music, paintings, literature etc, in something we call civilisation.


In its lower form, it is consciousness, feelings, memory etc. In its higher form it is communication, art appreciation, love, hatred, kindness, cruelty, innovation, and so on.


Mind has no form, weight, or substance. It appreciates past and anticipates future so it surpasses time. Mind can think beyond the universe so it surpasses space. In fact, mind is limitless.


Imagine the very beginning of the universe. Be it the "Big Bang" theory or some other events, the Universe is somehow, created.
