If we could entirely stop our mind-stuff from breaking into waves, it would put an end to our bodies.
For millions of years we have worked so hard to manufacture these bodies that in the struggle we have forgotten our real purpose in getting them, which was to become perfect.
We have grown to think that body-making is the end of our efforts. This is Maya. We must break this delusion and return to our original aim and realize we are not the body, it is our servant.
