Whenever the Body, the Mind and the Spirit do not get fed harmoniously - that is not to an arithmetically equal extent but each according to its needs and capacity - you have trouble. The harmonious growth of human means the development of Body, Mind and Spirit each in proportion to its needs and capacity. Harmonious growth is curiously enough not uniform growth but differentiated growth. It is the lack of harmonious growth in this paradoxical sense that is responsible for the ills of humanity, be they of the individual or of society as a whole. The present conflagration of the world is due to the disproportionate growth of the three components. The Body and the Mind had grown. The Spirit had been neglected. If the Spirit also had been developed and nurtured as efficiently as the Mind and the Body we would have had a world of peace, happiness and bliss.
Books can help us in this matter. As students you must learn to read and enjoy all the three kinds of books, informative, recreative and inspirational books. It is only then that you will justify the rich heritage which has come to you through millions of years of labor of your ancestors - ancestors the triple invention of Speech, Writing and Printing.
