But the knowledge that
'I am Soul' is just not sufficient at this point where soul is linked
with the physical body. This knowledge is just the knowledge of
words. The experience is missing. Just as a blind person may know the
word ,light', he may be knowing the dictionary meaning of the word
'light'. However, he wouldn't understand what light is until he gets
to see the light. The experience of light is missing.
And therefore, to start
with say we are, for time being, composed of two parts. One the
physical material body and the second the divine soul. Which means
that both should be cared for.
The bodily disorders
definitely take a toll on the condition of mind and it is mind that
is to be taken to divine area for realization.
The physical world or
material world is of quite importance. Body needs to be given proper
nourishment, it needs to be treated for diseases. It requires
sufficient rest and cleaning. Hence proper eating, proper sleep and
proper condition of body is essential.
But, the worldly
materials and persons should not be seen as potential happiness donors.
Happiness is the requirement of the soul and this happiness must be
divine because soul is divine.
