Let everyone of us introspect ourselves with simple queries:

Human Body:
Human race is supreme creation of Almighty God. Each person has two major components, the physical body and the astral soul.
The body is considered more important for everyone. People spend lot of time, energy and attention for its betterment. Varied costumes, make-up articles etc become in great demand.
Exercise and sports make the body fit and strong. Even fashion shows and contests are organized throughout the world to exhibit the means of decoration. Talents are attained in different fields of business, management, law, engineering, medical, games and many other areas not only to earn but also to achieve commendable status in the society.
Mind and Spirit:
Thoughts, imagination and actions of the body are regulated by mind. But according to general religious concept, mind or “Mann” also nurtures and promotes wicked thought. It is mischievous and reckless entity.
On the contrary, soul is considered as a divine bliss. It not only gives serene and positive attitude but also pre-warns the mind to abstain from any wrong doing. Mind tries to overpower and suppress the soul. The persons who get enslaved of mind do not think for the well being of mankind and other creatures.
