Water is the symbol of and comparable to feet. The arrangement of mind is just the opposite of the Karmayoga of the feet.

In the state of non-mind, mind does not die, but the mind attains assimilation on the level of the soul. The connection of the mind with the body, kissing the entire world by mind is the foundation-stone of construction of the world in life. If the
