The ever green debate over mind and body props again once more and what a time when we are in one of the most turbulent times in terms of politics, finance and everything else that affects the real being of you. You are confused whether what you see is all?
It is not necessary that your mind and body respond in a similar fashion to a same action or an event. So what’s the difference between mind and body which one of them takes precedence and why? These are the questions worth answering .answers may be abstract but they give us an insight into an age old dilemma.
I would like to present an analogy over here and that analogy is of good old tea and teacup! Considering tea as our mind and the teacup as the body. now which holds More importance the tea or the teacup? the answer is more than obvious.
Tea from best tea gardens served in a cup brought from street side vendor will taste as good as it would have tasted in a cup made of silver. Similarly tea which is bitter in taste would not become a treat to have in a silver cup also.
The age old adage that a “healthy mind resides in a healthy body” also stands to be scrutinized by us. Good tea in a cup whose ear is broken will be a taste to look down upon?? No I don’t think so. Now you ask your self if this is right or wrong?? The doubt is does cup hold any value at all. I would say as long as cup is able to hold the tea and is able to keep it warm it serves its purpose but as soon as there is a hole in its bottom it is useless. So does cup’s only use is to hold tea ? No there is one more activity that cup can accomplish to validate its existence. how hot it can keep the tea, that’s its job. Your body often reflects your mindset. I said often because there is always room for exceptions.
