Where is the Mind Located?

In yoga we see a human being as 5 seaths or 5 layers of bodies. These are known as annamaya kosha, manomaya kosha, pranamaya kosha, vijanamaya kosha and anandamaya kosha.

Translating it into English would mean: Annamaya kosha means food body. The body, the physical body that you have is just an accumulation of the food that you have eaten. It is something that you gather.

Manomaya kosha means a layer of intelligence. Which is capable of accumulating knowledge. That there is a layer of intelligence. It is not here or here or here somewhere. Every cell in the body has its own intelligence. Yes or no? Intelligence is all across. Accumulation of knowledge is all across. When I say this, people will always think. Generally the thought is memory means it’s in your head. No, no, no. Your body has a million-fold more memory than your mind. Right now, your great grandfather’s nose is sitting on your face because something in the body remembers. Isn’t it? Yes or no? A million years ago, how your fore fathers looked, unknowingly still your hair is like that. The texture of the skin is like this. Your complexion is like this. Your body remembers. Your body remembers a million-fold more than your mind can ever imagine.

So both in terms of intelligence, right now what is happening in a single cell in your body? Can you logically, mentally or intellectually decipher what’s happening in one cell in your body? One molecule of DNA, what’s happening is too much to know. The intelligence and the memory in the body is way beyond what happens in the boombox that you call as your head. It is just that. This part of your intelligence can generate thought. Because you have become very attached to your thought you think intelligence is all coming from here. No. This is exuding much more intelligence than your brain can ever think of.

This is the science of yoga. One dimension of it. Let me speak about a very small aspect of this. Essentially one aspect of yoga means understanding the geometry of existence. When I saw the geometry of existence, for example, this solar system is functioning the way it is functioning. One thing is all this life, including yourself, your all solar powered, aren’t you? Everything, all life on this planet is solar powered, isn’t it?

I was, about 6 weeks ago, I was in an open helicopter. We were just at about 4500 feet. Everybody knows every 1000 feet so much temperature drops. You prepare for that and go. Suddenly it became extremely cold. So cold that we had to come down. We were just discussing because the cloud cover came suddenly it became so cold we just couldn’t stay there. We were discussing if sun disappears how long would it take for the earth to freeze up? In our calculations we thought maybe 6 months, maybe 3 months, something. Then when I came down I just checked it out. In 18 hours all the oceans on the planet will be frozen solid rock. It will be frozen into solid ice in just 18 hours time. You clearly know that sun is the basic source of energy. Everything in this planet is solar powered. The geometry of the sun, the planet, the moon and the other planets, has a role to play in everything that happens upon this planet. All life is associated with this.

Now when you say intelligence. When you say mind. I believe you are referring to intelligence. If you’re talking about the thought process, that essentially happens in the neurons in your brain, which we know. But if you’re talking about mind as an intelligence, it is just all over in this body and everywhere in existence. The very earth that you walk upon is tremendously intelligent. Have you ever seen that you planted a mango tree and by mistake it goofed and produced a coconut? Did it ever do that? No such thing ever happened. Just it’s neighbor is producing coconut by mistake did it ever produce a coconut? Certainly not. Nature has never produced, isn’t it? Employing your logical intelligence, many times you end up into that kind of situation.

You need to understand this both in terms of intelligence and memory. Every cell in your body carries much more than your whole brain carries. One cell in your body. One molecule of DNA carries information that your whole brain cannot decipher. That much information it carries. What happened in the last few million years it remembers. Still manifesting, isn’t it? It is not in any one place. Not even just within you. It is all across you. The whole creation is just intelligence.
