-Scriptures "Anguttara Nikaya"

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.

This precious reward of Thine, O Mazda, Thou givest by way of the Good Mind, Thou givest to those who perform actions through knowledge and pure thought; who attempt for the progress and development of the world; fulfil God’s desire and try for the progress of God’s Will through truth and righteousness.
