This is an impulsive blog post. In it, I want to think out one of the most fundamental questions–why do men think? I immediately wish to remove this question from my field. It is a wrong question, and I will tell you why.
The mind and the body are in totality, completely inseparable from one another. It is one whole. However, the moment I am self-conscious and start to see my thoughts there is a fracture in this totality that gives rise to the mind (that thinks) and the body (that senses). Then, we want to solve problems like mind-body problems, which are problems created by our own method of fragmentation.
If one sees the cause of the problem, what do you think? Will he try to solve the problem, or will he put all his energy into eliminating the cause? Obviously, the cause! Right? The cause of the problem, as I stated already, is the thought itself. But can we end the thought? Do you not see the impossibility of this action? It is utterly impossible to end the thought.
So, why do men think? Because he thinks! There is no other way of answering this question unless you bring up all the biological explanations. Still, the other side of the question of what seems impossible–that is, why do men not think?–this question is itself impossible to answer. Or is it? Well, again the answer would be because he thinks! He thinks! Okay fine, Let’s move on! And because he thinks, time automatically springs up in his field to tell and remind him that tomorrow he has an exam for which he has prepared not even an iota of it. He wants to survive this exam. So he takes his leave.
