Inside out : Body and Mind
How do we describe a flower, By
its colour or fragrance?. Intact, by both. It is not only its beautiful colour
that fills our hearts with joy but also and essentially the captivating and
exhilarating fragrance it emits into the air. Similarly , a man is not
only what he looks like- his complexion,
clothes, physique etc, but also what he speaks, does and think. apart from his
exterior, it is essential to look him inside out to have his thorough portrayal.
It is rightly said that all beautiful faces do not possess the hearts of gold,
and all ugly faces do not possess a devil “s hearts. A golden pot may contain
honey, so we can not judge people by their coats.. Being proud of his beautiful
body, once a leopard bragged to a fox “Look at my skin, well decorated with
spots. That makes me the finest specimen among animals “But the fox , as foxy
he was, retorted : “ And more beautiful than you stand I, decorated so well,
not in body, but in mind “ Bhim Rao Ambedkar “Unlike a drop of water which
loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the
society in which hje lives”. This Identity is one’s personality. It encompasses
many things in its ambit. Many things mixed up to form a personality. Literally
speaking, personality is made from the word to which we affix two suffixes,
person +al+ity. Person means a living
individual being. Adding al to it connotes having individual traits and suffixing ity to it
further extends it to convey to have the states of being individual. So
literally personality means to have distinct qualities or features which distinguish one person from
the other from any other and so on. Human personality is not static
piece of art that remains the same, but is dynamic and grows with the passage
of time as an earthbound caterpillar
goes into flying butterfly, so must human personality grow - both in mind and body. Mind is the CEO and
the body is the servant that carries out the orders and the instruction sent by the mind. We can not have solid mind
without solid body and without solid mind human body is useless. So finally the
character of a person could not judge by
external body , it should be judged by by his / her internal beauty.
It is not necessary the person who has beautiful body has a good
character and good attributes. Therefore by the physical appearance the mind of
a person could not be judge. But the
mind of a person can reflect hi / her body language. Therefore inside mind
always reflects by the physical body of
a person. So we should judge a person by his /her mind and physical body both. Generally
it is understood that the mind is a controller of the body, and body is the
servant of mind.
