Man's very
wrong education
has made the head
the most important part
of the human body. The head
or brain is
not the most important center of life-energy in man. It is
like going to a plant
and asking it what its most important
and vital part is. Because
the flowers can
be seen at the
top of the plant, the plant
and everybody else
will say that the
flowers are the
most important part. So although
the flowers seem to be
the most important they are not, the most
important part are the roots, which
are not visible. The brain is the
flower on the plant of man, it is
not the root. Roots come first; flowers
come last. If the roots
are ignored the flowers will wither away because they
have no separate life of their own. If the roots
are taken care of, the flowers
get taken care of automatically; no special
effort is needed
to care for
them. But looking at
a plant it seems
that the flowers
are the most important
part and in the same way
it seems that, in man, the brain
is most important. The brain is
the final development in man's body; it is not the root.
