A mature man or woman will place their attention on awareness and consciousness. They have learned that fulfillment of the ego and mind is futile. The desires of the flesh can be addictive and bring no lasting peace.
The mind and ego crave to satisfy the body. They hunger to perpetuate a cycle of addiction, if our attention is not turned within to the finer energies of our being. They understand that if they can own the body they will block the feeling awareness into the soul.
It has been said that the body is a temple and as such it should be given the respect it is due. The pleasing of the flesh is not wrong, unless it is all that we identity within ourselves.
