Difference between mind and brain

Brain and Mind are seems to be quite similar things but if we imagine both of them properly there is a lot of difference between them .

"Without brain mind can't exist and without mind brain is useless. "

In this blog I will help you to imagine properly ' what is diiference between mind and brain '.

In our culture we sometimes use the words brain and mind interchangeably even though they really do refer to separate, although often overlapping, concepts. The brain is an organ but the mind isn't. The brain is the physical place where the mind resides. It is a vessel in which the electronic impulses that create thought are contained. With the brain you coordinate your moves, your organism, your activities and transmit impulses. But you use the mind to think. Brain helps to perform all the voluntary and involuntary actions in a much efficient way when it combines with spinal cord.




SO WHAT ACTUALLY  THE BRAIN IS ? 

Brain is simply the major part of our nervous system which plays a vital role in control and coordination of our all body parts . Coordination may includes your physical movement or your thoughts . So brain is just a tool for sending , recieving and storing information . 


Brain is one of most important organ in comparison to all other organs in our body . Nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are responsible for manipulating information or we can say it as 'data'. Nerve cells are the working unit of our brain . It is a specialized cell designed to transmit nerve impulses throughout the whole body . A nerve cell consist of many parts Axon , dendrite ,cytoplasm etc and all have their own unique function in nerve . Now I does not want to go in deep . Now I hope you understand what is brain.



Now let's talk about mind:-
The mind is the manifestations of thought, perception, emotion, determination, memory and imagination that takes place within the brain. Mind is often used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason. The mind is the awareness of consciousness we know, the ability to control what we do, and know what we are doing and why. It is the ability to understand. Animal are able to interpret their environments, but not understand them. whereas human are able to understand what happens around them, even if not the scientific reasoning for it, and therefore adapt.

The mind made humans capable to solve complex logical problem which differentiates us than other living beings. Logic makes us understand that things are not as what they seem. Our ability to analyze  situations makes it possible to develop solutions to problems and lead us toward practical solutions. We may not be able to see in the ultraviolet range, but we may design instruments to do so. We may not be able to see atoms, but we can design experiments that enable us to know their properties. Each stage of scientific advancement has usually been made by trying to reach a logical conclusion consistent with our observations. We no longer believe in demons as the cause of disease. We now believe in viruses, bacteria, genetic defects, and environmental pollution as the real causes of disease. It is all possible only because of presence of mind .



SO WHAT ACTUALLY MIND IS ? 

I want to share a quote which is related to mind that I hope will help you to understand that mind is just a type of thought process which is taking in your brain.



There are many things , thoughts , ideas which we face in our everyday life. If we don't judge these things , they will rule us . We have to think about all the things , thoughts and ideas of our society , if we do so  , we can be able to manage our thoughts present in our brain , in simple words we can be able to manage our mind or rule our mind . But if we just simply grab what we get from society without knowing what is true or fake then we are directly giving our mind a chance to rule over us. We will be run according to society in our life . We have  to manage all these thought process which are taking place in our mind so that our mind can't rule us . Our mind is so vast system of data . To control this vast system of information we have to keep our mind calm and always fresh . Don't give opportunity to any unknown thought which come into your brain for decision making in your life . By doing this we are just ruining our capability to rule our mind .

" Your life will always lead to you in right path , if you rule your mind ." 
That's damn true !!







I hope now you understand the difference between mind and brain . But if you are still confused , I am sure this line will completely clear your all doubts regarding mind and brain :-

"YOU MIND IS SIMPLY WHAT YOU HAVE STORED IN YOUR BRAIN".
