- Mind and matter are always interconnected and mutually influencing. Now not only psychology or physical science is doing research to know the functioning of brain-mind and consciousness, physical science is also doing it.

This is the new year brought by Samayadeva. The dawn of the new year is showering the golden rays of joy, gaiety and joy. The most precious thing in this world is time. Time itself gives us the scope of life. Poet Priyankath Maniyar says - 'Now this hand is not here! The gold of time found, as it was first used, remains the same, why will it mold? Let's use the golden hand of time to make life easier. Life is a precious gift of God. There is an overflow of joy in its moments. His art is depicted in every detail of the world he created. Nature is its beautiful poetry.'

Life is the essence of our existence. Waves of thought and resolve, communication and emotion in the churning ocean of consciousness. It is the same life that continues to be realized full of surprises as Pratipal unfolds. Poet Rabindranath Tagore says - 'That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is Life.' Time is the vehicle for traveling through existence. Life becomes meaningful only if we experience the joy and blessing of the realization of both existence and time. Tagore writes in one of his poems - - 'His own mornings are new surprises to God - the dawn created by God himself seems like a new surprise.'

Life is always riding on the horse of change. Change is happening moment by moment. 'Samsrati iti samsara: That which fades away is called samsara. The constancy that binds two changing moments teaches us continuity. That continuity makes us forget about change. Life is continuity of change and continuity is change. Life is like a kaleidoscope. Its forms and colors are constantly changing. Russian novelist Boris Pasternak in his novel 'Dr. Zhivago writes - - 'Life is the principle of self-renewal, It is constantly renewing, remaking, changing and transfiguring itself. It is constantly renewing, renovating and transforming itself.' The Greek philosopher Heraclitus, the predecessor of Socrates, also wrote presenting this fact of life - 'All is flux, nothing stays still. You cannot put your feet in the same river a second time. A river is a continuous flow of water. The water that was there when you put one foot in the river has changed when you put the other foot. As time changes, so does the place. Gujarati poet Manilal Desai has put this matter in beautiful words -

'Slid away pal,

Time knows that it is raining rain,

No flood in the rain, let the summer be absorbed,

No one's company has any effect on him,

Jaye tedi podhelane e nave lok, navasthal.'

Mind and matter are always interconnected and mutually influencing. Now not only psychology or physical science is doing research to know the functioning of brain-mind and consciousness, physical science is also doing it. We know Chaitanya through experience. Consciousness is the state of experience in which we are conscious, aware or conscious of the external world and can think, imagine and act. Hence we refer to such lack of awareness as unconsciousness. That is, when we are in the unconscious state, we cannot experience anything. It means that all the experiences we have come from thought and from the experience of self i.e. subjective knowledge. This knowledge of the 'experiencer' within us, the experiencer and doer, enables us to know something about the mind.

At this stage we also have to understand the Principle of Uncertainty of Werner Heisenberg, the Nobel Prize winning physicist of Quantum Physics. He proved that all the processes going on inside the atom and visible to us are uncertain. Whether the electron will appear as a particle or as a wave is not at all certain. Not only that, he states that what we perceive as 'observer' alters what is 'seen' - 'The observer alters the observed.' Explaining this matter, Professor Endard writes in his book 'An Approach to Modern Physics' - 'Observation means interference with what we are observing - that is the scene.'

Danish physicist Mills Bohr, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922, explained the complementary theory, saying that when we want to know about mind and consciousness, the mind creates the need for a relationship between the experiencer and the consumer. The difficulty this time is that the mind cannot experience itself properly as the process of observation and experience changes the mind. Thus our role as seers and the realization of the cultivated mind expresses differently what actually is.

Enjoy the life that takes on new forms and colors to the fullest. Live the moment to the fullest before it slips away. Watch the colorful scenes unfold on the white stretch of time. Savor the sweet and sour juices of happiness and sorrow. Hindi language poet Sumitranandan Pant says - 'Prabhuka Anant Vardan Tumhen, Upbhoga Karo Pratikshan Nava Nav, Kya Kami Tumhen Hai Tribhuvan Mein, Yadi Bane Rah Sako Tum Manav.'
