THE FAMILY AND THE NATION
When one gets pleasure from an object or a person for some time, a new quest to get pleasure from another object or another person begins soon after, and this goes on endlessly. This is the pathetic story of relationship between an individual and an object or another person in family life. No external object can take an individual to a region where he feels absolutely contented. This sense of discontentment is at the root of modern familial maladies such as economic competition, divorce, familial discord, and so on.
Fickleness, fantasy, suspiciousness and intense emotional upsurge play the role of villain in making family life unhappy and wretched. If there is a question as to how life in a family can be made happy, the answer is in the study of the minds of the members of the family.
IMPRINTS OF THE PAST
Here it is appropriate to understand the concept of mind. You have to differentiate between mind and consciousness. Mind itself is devoid of consciousness. It does the function of consciousness by being reflected from the psyche, which is a part of consciousness. To understand mind, we must understand psyche. The mind is ephemeral. It is neither permanent nor stable. It is created and it perishes. The word 'mind' relates to the mental abilities of a human, the will, intellect, wit, power of judgement, cogitation separating capability, experiences, education, the ability to discover coherences and the communicative aspects of the human being, like language. Basically mind and psyche work together. Psyche can be accessed by the mind and mind can uncover the distortions of reality that psyche is adapted to. The psyche is a permanent entity. It is by and large healthy. A healthy psyche knows fear but doesn't allow fear to control it.
Psyche has two main functions. It is both a non-material hard disk that stores memories and a non-material digestion
