Feeeel it !!!

While Gautama Buddha ,on seeing suffering all over and Tulasidas ,awakened by a mere taunting from his wife,are true examples of instant dawn of enlightenment and ‘victory over oneself’,A hint on the right approach,in such cases is given in the Bible (Matthew: 26,41), “The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak”.Yes, determining to progress towards one’s objectives and spirituality would be of no avail unless other ingredients,so necessary are first taken care of — physical health, energy, exuberance and sustaining power, which go with it.In any enterprise involving self-transformation , belief is the bottom line. Beliefs though aren’t immutable.
In short, the body is the route to all mental refinement. The reason for this, as noted by William James, is that body and thus physical activities can be more easily regulated , being under direct control of the will. In this manner, feelings and mind, which are not under this direct control , are also influenced and inspired, though indirectly. A renowned cardiologist also points out how a brisk walk “may be more helpful”.Experience the gentleness and joy all over as you go for a walk, feel the water trickling down, as you shower, cleansing, as if, your body and mind too.
