The battle of who comes first! The body and the Soul.
The body and the soul, a tension that has been explored in philosophy, spirituality, and psychology for centuries. The body, rooted in the present moment, yearns for fulfillment in tangible ways—through food, comfort, success, and love—while the soul, in contrast, is concerned with the bigger picture: the eternal journey, growth, and a purpose beyond the fleeting desires of the flesh.
The body of this lifetime always pays when the soul puts it on the backbencher and does things for others. Thinking of other happiness than its own, not giving the body or the life of this lifetime the importance it deserves.
The soul is eternal, it doesn’t understand the hunger, the cravings, and the thrill of immediate happiness. It looks at the larger perspective, and somehow pushes back the body that wants to live, love, and achieve. So who comes first?
The soul often seeks a higher meaning or fulfillment that transcends immediate pleasures. It might view the struggles and joys of the body as temporary and insignificant compared to the grander spiritual truth or purpose. Yet, in its pursuit of a greater good, the soul can inadvertently push aside the body’s needs, ignoring the natural, physical desires that the body craves for survival and well-being.
This dynamic can create a sense of imbalance. When the soul focuses too much on serving others or following a higher calling, it can neglect the body’s immediate needs, leading to fatigue, burnout, or feelings of emptiness. The body, in this case, becomes a vehicle that is driven but not cared for, potentially leading to frustration, disillusionment, or even physical illness.
On the other hand, when the body and its desires are placed at the forefront without consideration for the soul’s deeper call, there can be a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction, despite fulfilling physical needs.
The Body and the Soul
The key may lie in finding harmony between the body and the soul—recognizing that the soul’s higher perspective can guide the body, but that the body also deserves respect and care, as it is the vessel through which the soul experiences this lifetime. By striking a balance, one can cultivate a life that honors both the physical and the spiritual dimensions, allowing for growth, love, and achievement without sacrificing the well-being of either.
