Science and spirituality : Pujya Gurudev


Science and spirituality
Control and Refinement of Hormones
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The scientists of yore had adopted the approach of subtle science of spirituality to gain absolute knowledge about human mind and to creatively control the functioning of the brain. Modern scientists have started from an approach of gross analysis of the physico-chemical reactions and study of their effects manifested in behavioral changes. Progress of this research is now opening newer dimensions of the subtle aspects of human brain.
The study of hormones has offered amazing information to the researchers who consider physiological and biochemical processing to be the basic cause of different functions of brain. The front-line researchers now believe that the root cause of secretion of the enormous varieties of hormones is yet unknown because of the subtle nature of different levels of consciousness affecting the mind.
Even a single drop of some hormones secreted within the brain is found to bring drastic changes in the body-functions. The temperament and the emotional manifestations too are found to vary because of the fluctuations in specific hormonal levels. Many hormones and neuro-chemicals - contained in the tiny neurons - have now been identified and analyzed in the laboratories. These include, those found to be associated with the fatigue or energetic state of the body and the alacrity of mind, and those which can stimulate or suppress the expressions of love, compassion, cheerfulness etc. The hormone secreting glands seem to reveal even newer wonders before the endocrinologists to further accelerate research in the related areas of neuroscience.
It is a surprising coincidence that the existence of the mysterious neuro-chemicals came into light through the study of some diseases like aboulia and amnesia in which the mind goes into depression or becomes dull and dormant by losing memory and intellectual sharpness. Some scientists at the American National Institute of Mental Health had found that the activity or inhibition of an enzyme called MAO (Mono Amine Oxidase) is largely responsible for the changes in people’s temperaments. The normal as well as the unusual emotional expressions of different persons, cheerfulness and irritation, alacrity and lethargy etc, are found to depend on the inhibition or activation – by other enzymes and chemicals – o f the neuro-hormonal secretions of MAO.
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
