| If mind was matter and every mental act a mechanical resultant of neutral states,of what use is consciousness? Consciousness means God or Krishna Consciousness. Otherwise it is only due to the material illusion (Maya) which are just coverings or veils over our consciousness so we do not realize who we actually are. So when we use our mind in the service and thought of God then we are actually conscious otherwise we are in illusion. (Maya) the mind can be purified to be actually conscious. The consciousness can be covered by the impure mind. Yet both are needed. |
