The Body and Life


            Although the concept of men comprises of two main phenomena i.e. the body (objective) and the soul (subjective) the body is only an instrument for the soul. The soul is the architect, technician and absolute owner of the instrument, the body. When a technician does not realize his responsibilities and handles an instrument carelessly, what will happen? Similarly when the sould deals with the body without realizing its own responsibilities and without knowing the real value of the body it commits mistakes by its ignorance. As a result pains, miseries and so many problems of life emerge, in the life of man.
-Vethathiri Maharishi
