Human Life : a Blessing & a Curse Depending Upon Your Mindset

this very fact is the reason behind our all pains and sorrows.

Sub-conscious Mind : The second stage of mind is the sub-conscious mind and this

mostly works when we are asleep. Dreams come out from this stage of mind. There are

many other reasons for dreams but the dreams of sub-conscious mind are always

fear full and meaningless.

Un-coscious Mind : The next stage is unconscious mind. The person who first

discovered and understood the functioning of this mind has immensely and hugely

contributed to the life of human beings only by making it understandable. This is nine

times larger than the conscious mind. In this mind the baseless and meaningless

thoughts and ideas are rare. So it do not wastes our energy. The man who realizes and

understands this mind feels more fit and contented. Such persons usually live alone and

are always]happy. Poets, writers, philosophers normally live in this stage. Pious and just

motivation and innovative ideas begin from this mind. In this mind things mostly happen

without logic. We can’t clearly demarcate conscious and unconscious mind. The

unconscious mind is the state/stage of mind hidden behind the conscious mind.

In reality both these states of mind can mix with each other. We do it and the way

is also very easy. Whatever we decide in our conscious mind becomes practical and

gets completed only when it reaches the unconscious mind. This is the reason that we

can’t leave our vices and bad habbits easily because we try to get rid of them in

conscious state of mind which is very small comparatively. We can never overcome or

over rule our unconscious mind. Whenever there is a fight between these two

states, unconscious mind always emerge victorious. Sexual desire also develops in

unconscious mind and can’t be stopped so easily. So conscious mind can win only by

following the unconscious mind. This is a very pity situation. We think ourselves very

intelligent and understanding but when subconscious and unconscious minds overcome

our thoughts and decisions, our no logic or intelligence works. Try to understand your

entire inner self as much as you can. At the initial stage you will only see darkness

inside you but slowly it will start vanishing. Due this initial experience a kind of fear

develops and we can’t sit, understand and concentrate about deepest states of

unconscious mind because it doesn’t allow us to do so.

Mind continues to think all the time and making it blank even for a fraction of a second is

not easy. Both conscious and unconscious mind are makers of lowest levels of our

present life.

Enlightened Mind : This is a stage of mind which is above the conscious state

and equals the unconscious state. When someone reaches this stage of mind, the

deepest realities of life become clear like death, love, agony and emotions.

Cosmic Mind : We can call this state of mind which thinks beyond general and

common things. It thinks beyond life, death, birth and worldly things. We can also call it

a saints mind. This mind thinks beyond normal human thoughts. According to

Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru, this is the state of mind which should be called “fully

conscious”.

We have discussed five stages of mind namely

Conscious, Sub-conscious, Unconscious, Enlightened and Cosmic or Saint’s

mind. Conscious mind is the state which is mostly known to us. If we move even below

conscious mind, it will lead to darkness and degradation of life. If we move upwards, the

picture of life becomes more clear. We can move both ways because the way/path is

the same. This thing needs understanding. Going there is easy. We know the way but

we have forgotten it. Still we can easily find the way only if we have the will and the wish

to find and follow it.

These states of mind differentiate us from animals. Human life is greatest of all other

lives known to us which are present on the planet earth.

The human life is a glory, a blessing and a curse, all depending upon our mindset.
