Clarification questions

Why does our body decide whether one is a great man?

1. The subtle body is created by our mind, and so it is not the gross body which decides, but the subtle body, which reveals, like the radiance of an aura, reveals the formless body. Some people’s aura shines with clear colors, while for some the colors show dark, defiled states of mind. So those are not exactly bodily features. Those are features of the mind. It's simply spoken of them in symbolic language. When it says, “long tongue”, it means that the speech of this person carries truth that reaches the consciousness. The tongue can reach the space between the eyebrows. It means that the person’s speech is so strong that it reaches the comprehension of the listener. So all these features also have an inner interpretation.
