But we can create our own beautiful world Brian has nearly 12 billion neurons, which have negligible size and weight but have highly evolved structure, that could be compared with a complete human being in terms of work potential. If all the neurons could be conditioned to function optimally making best use of their latent collective powers, the human brain would certainly manifest divine potentials and supernatural talents

But we can create our own beautiful world Until the last century, extraordinary intelligence and talents were generally attributed to one’s good fortune or divine blessings... Scientific investigations into brain- functions and human psychology have now revealed that such ‘fortunes’ and acumen could be awaken to a great extent by systematic training and endeavours because the brain of every human is endowed with enormous potentials
