The Spirit is willing, but the body is weak. It is true on many occasions. Be it a place of study, or a work-spot, or even a place of entertainment, try doing the same thing for six days a week tirelessly, faithfully, sincerely and honestly by travelling around one hundred kilometres per day, you will know what weakness is. It will come on you slowly, like a needle being inserted into a banana… You will not feel it initially… almost painless…almost natural…always disguised…by words of encouragement from a mentor, a fellow colleague, a friend, a religious leader…the list goes on…when the realization comes on you, Alas!!! It will be too late- for the weakness would have eaten into your very soul. The physical sense of the weakness would have majored and crept into your mental faculties, occupying and corroding the core of what you need for work - The Spirit…What then of the ‘The Spirit is willing, but the body is weak’? It is true indeed that the flesh gets tired soon. Should the condition persist and be maintained, it is natural - though many might not accept, that the Spirit also would follow suit, resulting in collateral damage - and that Sirs, is not something to my liking…So, I gotta do what I gotta do, for it is tiring for my flesh right now…I do feel it. I want my Spirit to be fresh, unadulterated and free of the corrosion that is fast approaching and trying to sneak in unawares…So…I ask myself…Is the Flesh weak or is it the Spirit that is weak? ? ?
