PHILOSOPHY

-EMBODIED SPIRIT-
Man is not only body, but he is something
infinitely higher. Of all the animal creations of
God, man is the only animal who has
been created in order that he may know his
maker. Man's aim in life is not to add from day to
day to his material prospects and to his material
possessions but his predominant calling is from
day to day to come nearer to his maker
[Mohandas Gandhi, 1948].
The freedom of the soul from the body, its imprisonment
is transcendence. Transcendence is the existence
that is present beyond normal or physical level.
Transcendence means that: “I am my body but at the
same time I
am more than my body. The things that I do, all those
physical activities and attributes which are made real
through my body,
reveals the person that I am”.
