We are more than this body...

We are trained since our childhood to take good care of our health(physical) and our belongings . We like doing many things.... like indulging in different variety of foods, buying stylish clothes, watching good cinema, going for party and many other things we do just to satisfy our outer or physical needs.
But I wonder why do we not accept people when they die. here by accepting I mean why can't we show same love, same care, same behavior for a dead body of our loved one.... When we say a person is no more... what is there that is no more.... his/her body is in front of you lying still on the ground..... then why do we say a person has died........ ???? This means that there is something more than body in us.... that we call mind (soul ).
Once we recognize the real part of us, then we need to check what we are doing for that portion of ourselves in this life.....
Nature of our mind is love and kindness, when we were child our body wanted to grow and our mind wanted to expand, to reach more people.... we all were very friendly and loving in our childhood , even to strangers we would have passed smile and made friends....
But we were nourished in such a way that only our body grew but true nature of mind shrinked as the time passed..... Now we are so closed that we raise doubts even if somebody loves us or wants to help us , we try hard to find others ulterior motives, we always think for ourself first, we have ill-will for others.
This is happening with all of us and will continue to happen until we stop and think for a while that there is need for nourishment for our mind also......
There is need to calm down the mind, control the negative aspect of mind(which is selfishness within us).There are many spiritual paths .... which can work on our mind and make it more happy , contented, loving and kind for all. We need to search it.....
