Just like Consciousness is the product of collective activity of various regions of the brain, the God part of the Consciousness, which is the most blissful and inexplicable of all conscious states of the human mind, is also a product of complex electrical activity in various neural regions.”” [Abhijit Naskar](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/abhijit-naskar/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
