The energy of the mind is the essence of life.

-Aristotle "Aristotle"

Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.

-Deep Trivedi ""

No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.

-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"

Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed in surgically removing those miseries from your body.
