Can human beings be happy by only nurturing their physical bodies, by taking care only of their material needs? Some might believe they can. But...is it true? A plant needs nutrients, water and sunlight in order to thrive. If one is missing, its life is jeopardized. As human beings are made of body and spirit, they need to take care of their physical/material necessities as well as their emotional and spiritual ones. "Sound mind in sound body", our ancestors used to say. Let's add "sound heart". The mind represents your intellectual side, your need to think and learn/know. The body is the vehicle you need to function well in your daily life. But your heart is not less important, because it is the part of you that shelters your deepest feelings and your spiritual yearnings. Therefore...give careful attention to these three parts of your 'being'. They are all equally important.
