We employ the mind to rule, the body to serve.

Summary

This quote implies that the mind is the superior entity that should be in control and making decisions, while the body should be subservient and carry out those instructions. It suggests a hierarchical relationship between the mind and the body, wherein the mind is responsible for leading and governing, and the body is obligated to obey and fulfill its commands. This could be interpreted as encouraging the prioritization of mental capabilities and intellectual pursuits over physical needs and desires.
