Physiological
evolution only along with psychical evolution says Swami Vijnananand.
We
have been reviewing the Evolution and the role of Mind in it.
Since
each of us is a product in the process of evolution the knowledge of
the process is important for everybody. Conventional science is still
holding a materialistic view and as such many phenomena in the nature
turn into riddles. The role of psyche in the form of energy has not
been acknowledged by the scientists. The materialistic view that Mind
is the expression of brain seems still to be prevailing with
majority. We have also seen that many present scientists are echoing
the views Swami Vijnananand (S. V.) propounded in his books on New way
Philosophy written before 50 years. The blogs earlier related to mind
dwell adequately on S. V. views on Mind.
The
summary of the information in the earlier blogs related to Swamiji's
views on evolution is reproduced for the ready reference of the
readers.
BLOG25: Evolution of mind.
Excerpts
from book: WHAT MIND MEANS (Author Swami Vijnananand, Manashakti
publication).
The
evolution theory will be able to explain many unanswered questions if
the ‘evolution of the mind’ is properly understood and
appreciated as written by S. V. in this book as well as other books
related to the “New Way Philosophy”.
Mind
in the elementary/original (primordial) form may have embraced matter
First
step of evolution/Single cell organism can learn
Organisms
have always kept up pace with the developed mind, the size of the
brain and so with intelligence.
Physiological
evolution only along with psychical evolution.
At
each landmark of development manifestation (materialization) of mind
varies in degree, but at no stage can it be forced back to total
obviation.
Since
Darwin’s thesis is stated exclusively in terms of physiological
evolution forcibly divided or disconnected from psychical evolution
by his own discretion, sounds in-compatible or unsuitable. The
evidence provides latter (psychical evolution) as the cause of the
former(physiological evolution). The theory of continuity of mind
throughout the evolution renders the matter more easy and
understandable.
The
present theory of evolution (Darwin Theory) pathetically fails to
unriddle the gap between the two species.
Mind
alone can be considered to be accountable for the acquired characters
during these various intervals.
Psych
and not material brain (in the head cover) is personality or
individuality.
Though
the ‘CELL’ was the first life on the earth, the logical preforms
of life would be the COASERVATE and VIRUS.
Once
a single cell life came in to being, the desire to exist and exist
with comfort led to the formation of multycell lives. The same desire
continues in the process of further evolution till the advanced
species of human evolved.
Mind
enters into conversation with the body through ‘emotions’. Then
the next question is at what stage emotions entered into living
organism? Here one reaches to the origin of life on earth which is
the first link between the mind (non-matter) and the body (matter).
Book
MIND POWER tries to trace the journey of life from matter to the
first cell and then from multi-cells to the evolution up to the
advent of human being emphasizing the role played by the ‘desire’
which is the exclusive property of the ‘mind’.
The
talk of establishing equality itself gives ‘Non-material’ nature
of mind credence.
We
saw earlier that the starting point of life was Coaservate drops.
Those coaservate drops alone were capable of existence, which
possessed a certain dynamic stability and synthetic speeds exceeding
or at least balancing the speed of break down. Contrariwise, those
drops in which chemical changes in the given environmental conditions
were directed primarily at break down were doomed, or did not
originate at all. The unfortunate forms, that were destroyed, seem to
have again rejoined the fortunate or better organized drops, which
cannot be without reservation or without inherent desire to take
revenge.
The
entity that seeks pleasure which is denied to it gets displeasure.
This entity for the lust of pleasure, though submits to the source of
pleasure, must have retained dislike and must harbor attitude of
revenge. This is very logical conclusion relating to the birth of
chain revenge.
It
had taken roots at the very first stage and the same tendency has
followed up to date.
The
physical evolution and psycho evolution cannot be bifurcated.
True,
the reality of the revenge is unpalatable (not easily) acceptable.
It is a bitter pill to swallow.
Darwin
unearthed the revenge cycle behind the apparent symbiosis.
With
the progress of living ( resulting evolution) the revenge cycle is
also progressing in its complexities. S.V. has given the description
of this revenge cycle at each stage from the origin of life i.e. from
coaservate to virus to cell to multi-cell lives up to human being.
Body
cells have paid the cost of easy life by demanding more safety in the
protected multi cellular organism.
Pleasure
is the motive, jealous inequality is the mode, cyclic defeats and
revenge is the terminating end of each cycle.
The
revenge cycle includes not only open enemies but also so called
friends and relations ultimately turn into ghost of revenge, often in
the pretext of affection. The feelings of envy, jealousy prevailing
in the human mind is the expressed as well as dormant instinct of the
desire of possible revenge.
Symbiosis
means living together in cooperation. But if observed in Nature, such
examples are few.
Greek
history, Bible history, Arabian records, Persian records, Indian
mythology and whole world history down to this age breathe
destruction and revenge.
The
author (S. V.) says that we are at pain to point out this picture.
Some
people profess that world is full of peace. They speak either partial
truth, convenient truth, or truth with reference to certain context.
Such people paint the picture of world as it should be and not as it
is.
We
(the author) are underlining the reality and since correct diagnosis
will cure corroding melodies. As it stands therefore, the revenge
complex is the real menace (dangerous harm).
'Inequalities
of mind’ started the first mystery, and equality is the relieving
solution.
Laws
of Motion are universal. In Biology, they may become abstract, but
they would not be absent.
To
fight the ghostly cycle of revenge, the arms of knowledge are the
pacifying tools.
The New way philosophy based tailor designed various programs conducted by
Manashakti Research Center (web site manashakti.org), Lonavala, India,
throughout the year extend these arms of knowledge to the willing participants.
