But when I realise the Truth, the soul becomes a real friend of mine like the body.
At that time, the body does not become a stranger.The body becomes my capacity's willing slave.
The body desires to please me in my own way.Before my realisation, the body is a friend, but a fairweather friend.
When it satisfies its own need, it tries to help me; but when I actually need help from the body, the body does not help me. But when I realise the soul as my best friend, my only friend, then the body tries to help me in my own way.From:Sri Chinmoy,Fortune-philosophy, Agni Press, 1974
