what is mind

what is mind , let us try to understand together. The body is made up of food. The brain is a part of body which can be considered as CPU. When we were child the society as a whole tried to train our brain with the help of our sense organs.You must have seen that when the child is said to say the letter "A" he does not immediately repeat "A". It takes time. We should know what happens in the brain during this training? When we say A a type of sound is produced which hits the diaphram of the ear. Doe to this hit of the sound an impulse is created behind the diaphram which travels to the brain via optic nerve. The cells in the brain automatically tries to adjust/train itself with the sound and then tries to co-ordinate with those nerves which go to vocal chord. Once this synchronisation happens the child speaks "A". These alphabets are nothing but concepts to represent those sounds. Similar is the case with other sense organs also. You could see there is no question of storage of data as such which is understood in common paralance. The same technique is being employed in robotics(artificial intelligence). So when we say mind is sum total of data, is it not wrong? In this sense U.G. say "MIND IS A MYTH". The brain cannot function on its own as far as interaction and thinking is concerned unless it is prompted by outer stimuli which may be inside the body. That is why there cannot be any action. All are reactions.
