People who know both realms of this world are certain that “the body resides in the mind.” They know that when compared to the mind, the body is insignificant and must still depend on the mind. The mind’s power is always foremost, constant, and of the highest quality. The people who know both realms are certain that it is better to seek spiritual sustenance.
