Haribhadra and Psychosynthesis

So it is not an object of fear but an object for sublimation with the help of both the superconscious and the subliminal consciousness on the surface of consciousness. Consciousness is the stage of waking consciousness on which man lives his life.

As is seen in the chart given before, min contains within himself not only all the stages of consciousness but also all the elements there are in the universe. He has within him all the five material components of earth, water, wind, fire and ether and his physical life completely de. pends upon them. He has therefore to take them in by food, breathing, light and so on. The purer the intake the better working of the physical body. The intake must be balanced too otherwise it would disturb the whole mechanism of the body. But the senses by habit and former impressions and tendencies goad man to relish food, to take it in pleasureable forms and overeat. These are the attractions of the senses and they keep
