The body is the greatest possession, the
mind is the greatest treasure and the spirit is the greatest companion.
How do you view
the above statement
Our whole being
is priceless. The very life that is given to us to the tips of toes is god’s
gift to us. The quote that goes, ‘the body is the greatest possession, the mind
is the greatest treasure and the spirit is the greatest companion’, is indeed
an excellent way to represent the exclusivity of our whole being.
The body, known
as our greatest possession, is due to the fact that we are only given one body;
imperfect or not. No one is willing to give up their body for the sake of
another unless it is under dire circumstances. For instance, for the sake of
money, the citizens of India are willing to chop a part of their body or sell
their organ or even kill themselves. But, it shouldn’t be that way. This is our
highest ownership that a human could have, so the wisest thing is to take good
care of it and not destroy it.
Next, our mind
is the only thing that differentiates us from any other living being on this
Earth. We are given a mind to think and to distinguish between the right and
the wrong. Other living things aren’t treasured with such an exquisite gift of
thought. If there are, the world would be chaotic as every living thing would
be determined to speak up and propose their ideas which would only lead to
problems and no solutions. Therefore, as the mind that has been gifted to us
should be treasured and fed with only the best things on this Earth.
Last but not
least is our spirit. In times of our downfall and unmotivated self where we
feel the world is pressuring and shaping us into something that we clearly do
not desire, our spirit is what keeps us alive. The spirit within us is like a
burning flame that lies in the heart of our being where it burns brightly at times
and dim at other times. The need to survive and live this world until the very
end is often driven by the existence of this burning flame. Without it, many
would have claimed their lives instead of enduring the tests that lie for us in
this world. Our essence to succeed, to love and to live will continue to burn
bright as long as we are constantly reminded of its presence, only then will it
continue to stay with us. It is the only thing that can keep us going in this
treacherous place we call home.
In conclusion,
the quote presented isn’t something out of the ordinary but it man ages to
deliver a meaning that shakes our entire being. It is something that should be
used to constantly remind us just how precious we are, so that we would do
anything and everything to preserve its innocence and not tarnish it.
