The essence of humans seek is ecstasy. Ecstasy is an ultimate achievement of a human being and it is a metaphysical phenomenon. The psychological study of humans mind is the study of behavior and behavior is something beyond physics and which can not properly interpreted in medical terms, because humans behavior is not accessible through pathology or imaging. Mind is the grid of informations and behavior is a wised act of a human.

Mentality is the driver of our body which has produced by our thoughts and behavior is the practice of that thoughts;so mental health is quite normal functionality of thoughts. Buddha said: be careful about your thoughts because one day your thoughts will become your karma (deeds). According to world health organization when four dimensions of humans are normal, then he would be recognized as a healthy one, i. e. physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Physical body is solely related to our diet and food plan, so good food is the key of our physical health. Actually our emotional, logical and spiritual setup is a very essence of our being, body is our survival machine, logic, emotions and spiritual approach are the drivers of our body, if they are normal and act normal function then our body has become the tremendous joy of existence, and that is the point where ecstasy appears, if they have disturbed then our body sooner or later becomes our fatal enemy. Logic is precaution of an action and analysis power of an observation and experience, so without observation and experience logic does not perform any action and that stage logic is solely approved as an assumption and hypothesis.

Actually logic is only parameter to judge a human to be a normal human being otherwise there is nothing any difference between normality and insanity, so for good mental health is most important of a healthy performance of logic. Healthy performance of logic is clarity regarding your thoughts, for good mental health is more important avoiding confusion, do not involve to tangle your self to analyzing hypothetical oriented circumstances, keep witnessing alive and do not make decisions on the basis of assumptions.

The second important part of our mental health are our emotions, emotions are actually our electric motions, i. e. e-motions, fair and unfair behavioral tendency towards others are called emotions. Love, hate, compassion, anger, jealousy, these are all our emotions and their right usage makes better our mental health. In ethical manner anger is not acceptable emotion and we do not consider that as a positive emotional approach but in psychology anger is more important than compassion, because without anger you can not become fair in any aspect of life, so positive anger is much important, although negative anger is harmful for our mental health, likewise the positive jealousy is much better than hypocrisy because without positive jealously you can not achieve any goal in your life;competition increases will-power for enthusiasm.

Enlightenment is the realization of oneself to this universe, it is not a change into something better or more, but a simple recognition of who we truly already are

The third and the last part of our mental health is spiritual core. Spiritually is a mental state where reason and emotions utterly disappear and human being is reached at the stage of enlightenment. If you have a scientific mind you can interpret spirituality as enlightenment. The perfect mental health without enlightenment is incomplete and enlightenment solely survives when your emotions and logic utterly disappear and you have reached beyond the comparison of good and bad? then you have an ideal mental health. Spiritually or enlightenment is a gestalt which is situated beyond the perception of positivity and negativity, it is a realization of whole or unity.

When logic clear the way of life then emotions produce an utter excitement to live and regulates the life’s vehicle. Without enlightenment the journey of ultimate truth is remains incomplete, logic and emotions connect you with humans and society but enlightenment connects you to the life affirming phenomenon. Enlightenment does not allow you to become egoistic and self oriented, it develops the realization of tolerance, unity of love and compassion. A mentally healthy person is a good philanthropist in all dimensions of life and has a kind and sympathetic heart. Logic cuts the unity of love and compassion, emotions make a person selfish and egoistic, so at this stage enlightenment is the gentle wind of love, compassion and humanity.

A perfect person who have an awesome mental health must be enlightened, because without enlightenment logic and emotions are futile. Enlightenment is the realization of oneself to this universe, it is not a change into something better or more, but a simple recognition of who we truly already are. Spiritually, enlightened and intuition illuminates our mental health, the enlightened physicist Albert Einstein said, ” the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant, we have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
