THE SOUL WITH MIND AND BODY
The body is the vehicle of the mind, formed by the mind. As the mind, which is the vehicle for the soul, is formed by the soul. The body, in other words, may be called a vehicle of the vehicle. The soul is the life and personality in both. The mind seems alive, not by its own life, but by the life of the soul. So it is with the body, which appears alive by the contract of the mind and the soul. When both are separated from it, it becomes a corpse.
The question of whether the mind works upon the body or the body works upon the mind may be answered thus: it is natural that the mind should work upon the body, but usually the body works upon the mind. This happens when a person is drunk or when he is delirious with fever. In the same way the relation of the soul and the mind may be understood. It is natural that the soul must work on the mind, but usually the mind works upon the soul.
