Passage 12

In English

The body and the country are like the object and the image. The body is the place where the divine resides. The difference between and , that is between the place of residence and the resident, is the one “.” We interpret this difference by saying that one who is full of knowledge and wisdom is the one who resides in the body, and since this syllable “” is not present in “” it is said that the body itself is completely devoid of knowledge and wisdom. So, bearing in mind the Lord who is the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom and who resides in the body, we should be able to give sufficient attention for the well-being of the body. If the All-knowing does not reside in the body, then there is no sanctity of the body.
