Musings on Awarenes 9 - Prof. G. Venkataraman


To understand how exactly this happens, we must first start with the three aspects that every human being is a composite of the gross body, the subtle mind and the causal heart.

Three Genetic Sources
It turns out that each entity has its own ancestry and gene.
Gross Body
The gene for the gross body comes from our biological parents and ancestors (physical)
Subtle Mind
The subtle/mental genes that shape our mind are traits acquired in earlier births (behavioural)

Causal Heart (Soul/Atma)
These heart genes are Divine Genes, coming directly from God – Has a moderating influence on the other two types of genes. Divine genes represent the brakes; if this brake fails or gets disconnected, disaster is inevitable.

The Higher Mind
To attain the realm of the higher mind, would depend on an individual's Gunas or qualities. These can be managed and shaped through sense and mind control with lots of hard practice and much effort.
Most prevalent traits in individuals who attain the realm of the higher mind are compassion, love, forbearance, spirit of sacrifice etc. These are divine qualities and those who possess them lead truly enriching lives. Only then can one experience the awareness of the Omnipresence of God – being conscious of God's presence everywhere in everything, all the time.
