The Body – Its Tragic State

We wish to have a beautiful home for this living body with soul to live. We plan
meticulously and take every care during construction of the house. We choose nice
tiles, expensive carpet, good color combination for interiors, proper ventilation,
attractive woodwork to make our home attractive inside and outside. Once we are in
the house we clean and mop the floor regularly. At the door of every room we have
doormats, dustbins etc. We spend hours to keep bathtubs and toilets clean.
When we provide so much care to provide comforts and facilities to our homebody,
should our physical body with its soul inside not deserve better attention? If the soul
in our body lives peacefully, the body can live peacefully in the house we constructed
with so much care. But the irony is, we ignore the body that houses the soul, while
more attention is given to the house that this body lives in.
