The Instruments of Shakti.
H
*** All working of mind or spirit has its vibration in the physical consciousness, records itself there in a kind of subordinate corporea) notation and communicates itself to the material world partly at best through the physical machine. But the body of man has natural limita tions in this capacity which it in poses on the play of the higher parts of his being. And, 90condly, it has a sub-conscient consciousness of it own in which it keeps with an obstinate fidality the past habits and past nature of the mental and vital being and which automatically opposes and obstructs any very great upward change or at least prevents it from becoming the radical transformation of the whole nature, lut is evident that if we are to have a free divine or spiritual and supramental action conducted by the force and fulfilling the character of a diviner energy, sono fairly complete transformation must be effected in this outward character of the bodily nature...... The body is given us as one instrument necessary to the totality of our works and it is to be used, not neglected, hurt,
uppressed or abolished. If it is imperfect, rocal. citrant, obstinate, so are also the other members, the vital being, heart and mind and reason. It has like them to be changed and perfected and to undergo a transformation. As we must get ourselves a new life, now heart, new mind, so we have in a certain sense to build for ourselves & now body.
