The life of man what he assumes to be may be compared to a machine.
He assumes the power that runs the machine is the INTELLECT.
Therefore, he tries to be an intellectual man by gaining more education, more know hows, more plans, more savings and the like. He leads an intellectual way of living.
The body of the machine with all its component parts forms the PHYSICAL STRUCTURE of the individual.
In the intellectual way of living, man assumes that the machine i.e. the physical structure runs with the power of intellect. Therefore, he focuses only on feeding his intellect and running his body with the knowledge gained.
But the machine will not run for long in this state of affairs.
The power to run and the physical structure alone will not make things move.
There exists a third component namely the MIND.
Mind is the lubrication that enables the smooth movement of component parts.
It ensures quality functioning of the machine.
In its absence, the friction between parts become greater till a point where the machine comes to a halt even in the presence of the driving power.
Mind is equally important.
And then man realises his assumption to be wrong.
It is not the intellect which makes the machine move.
It is THE POWER DIVINE, that is the actual mover of things and beings.
To the man of the intellect, this may sound absurd.
Because he believes in his intellect. He believes in himself building his life, devoid of a power Supreme.
But once when the machine comes to a standstill, he realises the fact.
Intellect is simply a know how of how the machine runs.
Mind is the lubricating essence.
Body is the physical component.
And the Divine power is actually the power that makes it function.
Then begins his INTELLIGENT WAY OF LIVING.
