parts of the body fail to reconcile and unite, I shall be forced to leave this body and make another body my abode of living. I shall be forced to apply for a transfer".
As soon as the notice was received, an emergency meeting of all the parts of the body was called for and it was only then that they all realized their folly. A poet has rightly said: उछल लो कूद लो जब तक है जोर नलियों में ।
याद रखना इस तनकी उड़ेगी खाक गलियों में ॥
It is an universal truth that only in unity, there is strength and true happiness, and therefore, all should mutually cooperate for peaceful existence. All the organs and
systems took a wise decision and sent it to Seth Atmaram. The decision they took was as follows: "From this day, we shall never quarrel or go on strike on account of mutual vanity, and helping and supplementing each other, we shall perform our duties regularly as dictated by you. We promise not to trouble you in any way and we shall always remain united." Seth Atmaram was immensely pleased and satisfied by the wise decision. It is here that the illustration comes to an end.
Your body is the most natural creation and is an epitome of dedication and benevolence. Each part of the body echoes the principle of paropakara i.e. altruism, benevolence, compassion and humility. When a thorn pricks the foot, the hands, and the eyes immediately rush to the rescue of the foot. They do not wait for a formal invitation and the mind also ceases to be cheerful and thinks of ways to cure the pain.
