Understanding Balance of Mind

Every person is endowed with two essential mental faculties - brain and mind. Mind is the source of desires of different systems of body and is incapable of thinking while the brain keeps past experiences as memory and utilizes this memory to make judgments of current issues. This process is often termed as 'thinking'. Thus, the mind desires and the brain thinks. Satisfying a desire without thinking may prove disastrous to the person. Keeping the mind under control of the brain is 'keeping balance of mind', a sign of good mental health of the person. 

When a desire is in over-excited state, the person acts fast to satisfy it without giving an opportunity to the mind to think over propriety of the desire. Most of the crimes are committed under state of over-excitement of a desire like lust for money or sexual pleasure, 

A person gets mentally charged by some unexpected incidence involving his/her interests but may not react instantly. In the time gap, the brain thinks on the matter and cools down the excitement of the mind. In some cases, the mental charge may be high enough to demand an instant reaction and person's mind and body go out of control of his.her brain. 

Persons who remain busy with intellectual exercises of thinking, they develop a habit of keeping mind always in active mode which keeps a tab on desires aroused in his/her mind. Such persons may look like acting instantly but their minds seldom go out of control of their brains. Such persons never commit a crime. 

Here it is essential to differentiate between mind and brain of a person, both residing in his/her body. The body has many organic systems such as digestive system, sexuality, blood flow, breathing etc. Every such a system has its own mind embedded in it which monitors and regulates the system functions. A combination of all these system-minds of the person is the mind of the person. These system-minds have no thinking capability which is owned by the person's brain only. These minds are the sources of desires of the person.
