"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional mind, the other

of the rational mind. In a very real sense we have two minds, one

that thinks and one that feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional

Intelligence, Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8). This

rational mind is also called the faculty of logic and reason.

However logic has its limitations:

 

In the 1930s, Austrian mathematician Godel proved a theorem which

became the "Godel theorem" in cognition theory. It states that any

formalized 'logical' system in principle cannot be complete in

itself. It means that a statement can always be found that can be

neither disproved nor proved using the means of that particular

system. To discuss about such a statement, one must go beyond that

very logic system; otherwise nothing but a vicious circle will

result. Psychologist say that any experience is contingent - it's

opposite is logically possible and hence should not be treated as

contradictory.

 

The Upanishads call the emotional component of mind as Chitta and

the rational component of mind as Manas. The nature of Manas

changes with each and every perception and it's understanding.

Manas represents the intellignce of a person. In general, women

excell in Chitta and men excell in Manas. Men have the ability to

transcend the limitations of Manas and activate the higher

component of mind Buddhi (intellect or wisdom) which deals with

deliberation of the pros and cons using discrimination after

considering what is emotional and what is rational. It overcomes

the limitations of logic and reasoning.

 

In English, 'flourit' means the age of dawning or flowering of

wisdom; it also means the age of 40. (See a multi-volume dictionary

in a library). Generally, Buddhi (intellect) starts funtcioning

after the age of 40 years, but it may take longer for others. You

can not blame a teenager or a youth for not having it. It is a

general observation that only person aged beyond 40 years are

called intellectuals.
