“If we ask somebody which is the most important part in a human body, then unknowingly his hand will point toward his head and he will say that his brain is the most important. Or, if it is a woman, then maybe she will point toward her heart and say that the heart is the most important.

“Neither the head nor the heart is the most important. Men have emphasized their brains and women have emphasized their hearts and the society based on this combination has been continuously ruined, every day, because neither of these parts are the most important part in a human body; both are very late developments. Man’s roots are not in them.

“What do I mean by the roots of man? Just as the plants have roots in the earth from which they draw their life energy and life juices and live, similarly, in the human body there are roots at some point which draw life energy from the being. Because of this the body remains alive. The day those roots become feeble the body begins to die.

“The roots of the plants are in the earth, the roots of the human body are in the being. But neither the brain nor the heart is the place from where man is connected to his life energy – and if we do not know anything about those roots then we can never enter the world of a meditator. “Then where are the roots of man? Perhaps you are not aware of the place. If even simple and common things are not given any attention for thousands of years, they are forgotten.”
