Spiritual State of Man Man is a tripartite being. He is mainly made up of a
spirit, a soul, and a body. The spiritual side of man has to do with the state
of his spirit in relation to the Supernatural or God, his Maker.
In
other words, the spiritual aspect of man is that part of him that relates with
the supernatural. The Mental State of Man The Mental state of man is one of the
two components of his soul. The soul, which is said to be the real man,
comprises the mental faculty and the emotions. The mental faculty involves the
mind (thoughts bank) as well as the intellectual state of man. The Emotional
State of Man The emotion is the second side of man’s soul. The emotion,
according to Hargie (1997:38) has three main components; “the direct conscious
experiences or feeling of emotion, the physiological processes that accompany
emotions, and the observable behavioural actions used to express emotion”. In
simple terms, emotion comprises the feelings and desires of man in their expressed
and unexpressed form.
