Brain and Brawn

Brain and brawn go hand in hand. Brain and brawn are always interactive. Without brain there is no brawn, or vice versa. But brain and brawn may go sulky when both have to work together too much. If brain works too much brawn cannot bear it. If brawn works too much brain will be lazy and lethargic. You may think I am mad. You may wonder if I have got a brain.

Recent research says brain power will decline by the age of 27. It is true. Brain power will decline by the end of education due to the overuse. We use brain and brawn more than required for higher education and doing all impossible tasks. Ancient human beings must have more brain power than today’s modern educated people. I mean brain strength to live a hard life and survival. People who are illiterate and leading quiet lives find to be physically stronger than their educated counterparts. People who use brain too much will be physically weak. Animals use brain only for basic needs and their survival. If you have to do work with brain and brawn you will get confused. Brain cannot bear different type of works. Some may be multi-talented. But multi-talents often go useless. Only one talent is better.

It is pathetic that children have to go to school before they learn to walk. In our times children would start their school only at 6. Parents also are too ambitious and speed up their children’s life. Why is the hurry? Go slow. Education should be compulsory but not by compulsion. Schools should not pressurize children for 100% pass. Education is for the benefit of the children, not for school’s credit. Children may get exhausted by using brain too much. They should study according to their capacity. If children are interested in higher studies they themselves will go in for the same. Some children commit suicide when education becomes a burden. Overuse of brain may cause sleep, mental and behavioral disorders. Learn to live by Nature’s rules.

Human brain may look alike when scanning. But each brain is different in thinking and understanding things. In fact, each person’s personality is different. If some people are adventurous it is not because they have extra strength or energy. It is ignorance. Their brains make them adventurous. Animals don’t become adventurous. They use energy only to fetch food. Nervous system gives energy. When nervous system gets weak you will be fatigued. Brain is a slave to temptation. It has the habit to do the same thing persistently. That’s why one gets addicted to something such as alcohol, drugs, food or even sex. Alcohol, drugs, medicines and radiation will destroy the brain. If you have got a good brain learn to protect it.

I had undergone a medical test by radiation ten years ago. The medical test almost killed me. But I recovered gradually and bring about a change in my life. Though I am fatigued I feel got enlightened thereafter. I remember the words of Lord Krishna, “If anything happened it was for good. If anything is going to happen it will be for good.” In my case it is true.
