LESSON 4
TEN LIFE-FORCES OF WORLDLY SOULS
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
What is a life-force ? The instrument which makes living of a worldly soul possible is the life-force. It is of two kinds - external and internal. External life-force is external to soul, while the internal one is integral to the soul and constitutes the nature of it. Worldly souls possess life-force of both these types. On the other hand, liberated souls possess internal life-force alone, and that too of pure type alone.
