naga panchami

Body and mind are not two things -  but two ends of one.

Body, the outermost shell; consciousness, the innermost core.

So, when knowing becomes non-wavering, body is still.

Non-wavering knowing resides in a non-wavering body – but the converse is not true.

If mind becomes still, body becomes still.

Then a mysterious phenomenon happens.

If your mind is totally still, then even if you are dancing, you will feel - from inside -  that the body is still.

A Buddha is still, even while walking.
A non-Buddha is not still, even when he is dead.
