The Human Body

            Every human being is gifted with a body to be in the world. Body is a means to be present to the world and to others. It is presence of body that make others realize that such and such being is Anil and not animal or Anil is human being.

            Body is not just flesh, blood, bones, muscles but it is more than all these. It is the seat of intentionality that is it through the help of the body that one is able to intend and create a world of his/her own. It is an expressive unity which it has both existence and essence at once and there is no dichotomy. In other words, body not only makes someone exist in the world but helps somebody to become ongoingly what he/she is potential of.

            Body is the epicenter of communication. It is with body that each one communicates to the other one’s happiness, sorrow, joy, love, hate and so on. Thus, body is the horizon of every experience and it is foundation of all thought.  At last, Human body is physical. It is given. It should not be seen as obstacle to reach the ultimate but must be seen as a means to reach ultimate goal of life.
