Where is the MIND??

Where is the MIND? Is it in the Brain? or Heart? or Lungs? or Stomach?  These were the questions asked by our lecturer. To this most might tell “Brain”. Even I thought the same in the beginning. But my question was;  if it is in Brain, can we see it? No. We can’t. None of the Anatomy book proves it. Even our lecturer didn’t give us any answer. It was taken for granted by students that if lecturer is not stressing  on it, then there is no need for them to exercise their Brains regarding it. Moreover, such kind of questions are not asked in Exams(thats what most of the students wants-’good marks’ by just by-hearting the things even though he/she can’t understand the topic).

Suddenly I started thinking about the same questions. Lots of questions popped in my mind at that time. Wondered whether Mind is really in Brain. If not in Brain then where else? Why is that analogy- If  Mind is to Brain then Soul is to Heart? Inspite of no proof, people still believe it.  But when it comes to God, many don’t believe in God because we can’t see him/her. I am not forcing such people to believe. Its their views. I myself don’t believe in God completely.I just think that there is some supernatural power. Well enough of it now. I don’t want to talk about God here. If you want to see some of good posts on god, you can check the following links: Pavan and Su.

Coming back to the point,  concept of the Mind is something very complicated to understand and still more complicated to explain. They talk about it in Philosophy and as well as in Science. In Philosophy, the Mind is related to some spiritual thing but in Science we study it under Psychology where they consider it at mental level. And at one point, we end up relating the Soul and the Mind. How would you people relate it? I seriously have very random thoughts regarding this.

Here is what I thought after those series of questions.                                                                                                  Mind is of course immaterial. Mind is not a part of  Brain but its product. It is just a mechanism by Brain to carry out several functions like thinking, reasoning, memory, perception etc. Somethings can’t be seen but can definitely be felt. But i still can’t think of a reason why do we people believe that Soul belongs to Heart.

Thats all I could think of. But I am still not convinced with this. I didn’t want to google it and see. I want to know what you people think about it. I am looking forward to your comments.
