to increase in proportion the evolution takes place. At man's stage of this evolution, there are seen both these types of activities on a larger scale and more evolved a man, more are his activities inside as well as outside. If seen in its complete reality man's outer and inner life is nothing but constant activity. During the day time he is up and doing something and he cannot escape it when sitting or lying because these two are also form of activity. In sleep too his mind does not rest, except in fast sleep but evea then his body is working by way of breathiog and the process of blood circulation, digestion etc. are constantly going on. So man's body and mind work twenty-four hours and he takes rest only by parts. This is because man's body and mind are nothing but the manifestations of the evolving energy and energy is movement.

It is the relaxation-cum-effort that makes all process integrated and turns the work into play. Such integrative works helps evolution and the fruits are seen in the form of the growth of the mind, keenness of insight and higher concentration. Consciouness begins to manifest in more sublter levels and in more effective Karma in the form of increased creativity. This is the secret of Karma and then by the use of this key man can boost up his evolution,
