Who doesn’t allow one to attain siddh gati (the final state of Liberation, moksha)? The body-complex (pudgal - that which charges and discharges). Similarly, what doesn’t let a gourd covered with mud, to go on top and float on water? The mud. The negative atoms, they weigh very heavily. They drag the Soul, the Self lower down. Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote

In this quote from the Upanishads, Yajnavalkya explains that the body is a complex machine that, when it isn’t properly maintained and function correctly, leads to problems. For example, if a person has a cold and goes to the doctor, the doctor will prescribe medicine that will help his cold to go away. However, if he doesn’t take his medicine and continues to be sick, then even though his body isn’t functioning correctly, he’ll feel fine. Yajnavalkya says that there is no such thing as a physical disease because there is always an underlying cause for everything.

The only way to help your body address its underlying cause of illness is to take care of your body and put your mind in the right place. Because we’re all familiar with the saying: If you don’t use it, you lose it, one can take it a step further and say: If you don’t use your mind, you lose it. The mind is what gives your body meaning and purpose. You need your mind to create ideas and implement them into action so you can reach your goals.

Therefore, if you don’t use your mind correctly and effectively, you will lose it.
