The mind, the body, and the spirit are one. This is not just a tired cliché dredged up from a lazily written book, but indeed the very truth of our existence. When all these powers are in tune with one another, there is perfect harmony and oneness with the universe. To neglect one for the sake of another or for something else is to cause discord. We must take care to maintain balance and unity. A man with a strong mind, but a frail body and spirit is not at full strength and falls short of what he may be capable of. Someone with a strong body, but with a weak mind or lack of spirit can perhaps win a race but still wind up the loser. Look beyond the trite sayings and find the meaning in the other side of the words.
