| "Just like I say: "My head" or "My hair," but if I ask you or you ask me that, "How many hairs are there?" oh, I am ignorant—I do not know. Similarly, we are so imperfect that we may have little knowledge even of our own body. We are eating, but how the eatables are being transformed into secretion, how they are becoming blood, how they are being passed through the heart, and it becomes red, and again diffuse all over the veins, and in this way the body is maintained, we know something, but how the work is going on, how this factory is going on, how the factory, machine, is working, we have very little knowledge. So indirectly we know that, "This is my body." "Indirectly" means we have heard, but we have no direct knowledge."
