Conscious and Unconscious Mind

Conscious and Unconscious Mind

The human mind is divided in two parts; conscious and unconscious. Numerous functions take place in the body like seeing, hearing, digestion and respiration which are governed by the unconscious mind, without any effort by the conscious mind. The conscious mind has unlimited capacity for thinking and analysing facts. The Creator has made the conscious mind free to involve itself in great quest for truth. What is truth? It is up to us to discover it... Everyone is a seeker by birth, but everyone lives his/her life without knowing what the real purpose of life is. We want to enjoy life, but we do not know what real enjoyment is. It is a paradoxical situation and everyone is living in this state of self-contradiction. When the Creator has given you a mind and made you free to use it, you should make use of this opportunity. You have to discover the reality. If you want to save yourself from going astray, activate your thinking faculty. Think who you are and what your true nature is, and you will surely reach the gates of truth.
