I want to introduce a few truths about consciousness, mind and brain. Let me give you an example of the sun reflecting on the mirror. The sun is the Consciousness, the reflection is the mind, and the part of the mirror on which the reflection is happening is the brain. The brain is physical, gross, the blueprint of your mind. Please understand, brain itself is not mind; it is a blueprint of your mind. By awakening the non-mechanical parts of your brain, you create a clean mirror for the reflection to be more pure, to be more true to the Consciousness. When you clean the mirror, the reflection can be more true to the sun. If there is a misshape, some dust, or a part of the mirror which does not reflect properly, the reflection will not be true to the sun.

So awakening the non-mechanical parts of your brain and keeping it clean and alive will make your mind true to the Consciousness. Making your mind true to the Consciousness is enlightenment. If your mind can reflect Consciousness as it is, without adding or deleting, illusion or delusion, you are living enlightenment.

I was reading an article which had very beautiful information; it is the truth. In the Guinness records, the highest achievement by a human being in weight-lifting, even with all that training or bench press, is much, much, much lower than the gorilla's bench press power, despite using the same set-up. Gorillas carry almost the same structure, same brain, same body, yet their bench press power is something like 4000 - without any training, or without trying to be stronger.

The power of human beings, with everything they have, is not even one quarter the power of the gorillas. Do you know why? First thing: we forget our strength. See, the gorilla never tries to be stronger. He is just himself. In our case, we forget our strength, set a wrong stand, and from that wrong stand we try to be stronger. That is where the struggle starts. Even with our brain, the same thing happens. Basically, we start believing that it can function only if information goes inside. Our basic education system makes you believe that you will not know that which you are not taught or that which is not put inside systematically through your eyes or ears. This is a most dangerous and wrong belief system.

Your brain is like a computer given to you. You can either use it as a PC, or you can use it as a computer with internet connection. You are taught from the young age that it is a PC. No. It is not true. It is a computer with internet connection, where you can download any information available on the internet, i.e. in the world. Your brain has a cosmic connection, and you can go on downloading anything you want and sharing it with the world.

If you open the channel of receiving information using the balance center, the sixth sense, where the eyes and ears meet, you will have what I call the internet connection. If the balance center has access to information, it is like an internet connection. Your eyes are like the web camera, and your ears are like the speakers on the computer. You all know only how to use the camera and the speakers and the keyboard, but you miss the internet connection. By nature you have the internet connection in you. Just because you are breathing, you have the internet connection, and there is no website which you cannot access. There is no firewall, there is no security issue. You can access anything without getting corrupted, without getting infected by any virus. Any information in the world can be accessed and handled by you!
