[Mr. Talin Rowe asked: Hello, Guru Datta Swami! Your wisdom is always cherished. The goal of the propagation of spiritual knowledge is for the permanent reformation of the soul. How does the information imprint on the soul, in order to make lasting impressions? How does it stick? Thank you, Talin Rowe]
Swami replied:- How the impression sticks to the brain is a doubt to be clarified by biological scientists. Let’s take a negative example for understanding the concept more clearly. A terrorist always is very rigid in doing violence because the impression that violence alone solves social problems is very very strongly impressed on his brain so that the impression always guides practice. The technical explanation of the mechanism of the strength of impression does not come under the scope of spiritual knowledge. However, I can say that the strength of impression of a concept comes from the depth of the faith that the concept is true. If the concept itself is true, it will strongly impress on the brain of everybody even though there may be variation in the time period based on the intensity of interest or strength of brain.
