A human is mind and body.
Of the two, mind is aware of
the senses and body is not. So mind is the leader and body, the follower. But in the senses
sphere and the fine-material sphere, mind
needs the support of body for
its arising. Mind is similar to
a man with good eye-sight but no legs whereas body is like a blind man with good legs.
A man
without legs and a blind man meet outside a village and they hear the
announcement that food is being distributed inside the village. They want to
get food from the place. How can they go? If the man with good eye-sight sits
on the shoulders of the blind man, and the latter walks along the road as
directed by the former, they will soon arrive at the desired place and enjoy
food. Mind and body
work hand in hand like this.
So, observe what goes on in the mind, and enjoy the food.
