The body and the mind are intricately connected, and the state of one can affect the other. The mind is the source of our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, while the body is the physical vessel that express our actions and reactions. The body is a reflection of the mind, as our physical health and appearance can be influenced by our mental state. The mind and body are also connected through the nervous system, as the brain sends signals to the body to control movement, sensation, and bodily functions. Yet, cosmic teaching is that the body is not real. It is an illusion.
