Sailing & Spiritualism 1

As per Wikipedia Sailing is the propulsion of a vehicle and the control of its movement with large (usually fabric) foils called sails. By changing the riggingrudder, and sometimes the keel or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to move the vessel relative to its surrounding medium (typically water, but also land and ice) and change its direction and speed. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats themselves and an understanding of one's surroundings

For sailing the skill & environment are important but the sail is critical. Now imagine making a sail out of a weak cloth ?? will it be able to hold  the wind & move with it? Will a sail made out of gauze move the boat forward? 

What is the sail?? If my boat is my body & the ocean is the sansar and the journey I make is life , then the sail is SELF AWARENESS I LEARN
