We Have to Take Care of Both

The mind’s physical expression is what you call the body. It’s the mind that makes the body. Change the mind, and you can change the body. That’s why your face changes when your mind is happy. It glows. People don’t see your mind, but they see your face. When your mind is unhappy, don’t they say, “Hey, what’s wrong?” Why? Because the face expresses the mind. Every cell will listen to the mind and get changed according to its moods.

That’s why when you are in a very depressed state, you can’t even get up or do anything. You say, “Oh, I can’t do a thing today. I’m so upset.” Getting upset is in the mind. The body should be able to get up and jump and play games, but it cannot because the body and mind are interconnected. If one falls sick, the other will also fall sick. That is why we have to take care of both.
