Translations:Yirmi İkinci Lem'a/44/en

The Answer: If man consisted only of a body, and he were going to live in this world for ever, and if the door of the grave were closed and death had been killed, then his duties and functions would have been limited to those of the army and government officials, and what you say would have had some meaning. But since man does not consist only of a body, and his heart, tongue, mind, and brain cannot be plucked out to feed his body; they cannot be annihilated; they too have to be administered.
