Good read it seems. Should help the continuous misrepresentation and super imposition of Hinduism on Buddhism and vice-a-versa.

Yeah , and in India philosophy is also very common to use opposition words to guide person in different condition of mental.

Like "Neti... neti."

this is have very deep meaning,

we cant said, ah this neti neti is mean all deities is wrong interpretation of God !

so many missunderstanding between schools (sect), then if not use wise way to face whatever look like different in teachings, or not respect each other, all sect of India will destroy each other, then outside only need small power to defeat them.

In Indian psychology we see mind and brain as two different things. There is not only a metaphysical mind but there is also an Intellect(Buddhi) in the platonic realm.

See Buddhi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhi

This is the traditional view of the Intellect, the metaphysical Mind and the metaphysical sense organs. As you can see there is no brain in our model.
