CONFIDENCE IN COMMUNICATION - Part XV

The soul requires no liberation: It requires a material body for expression.

The body requires no liberation! It requires scope for expressing the 'Soul'.

The 'Soul' of the matter is what you yourself define for yourself, and to make your body express - NOT TRY TO EXPRESS your definition.

Disuse of parts and functions of your body is the root of disorder and the parent of aging. Find use for your body and its brain, and do not be content to let them lie idle, doing the minimum required to maintain yourself as a respectable, average specimen of humanity, predetermined to retire at fifty and die shortly thereafter.

If Japa is good, the Bhavajapa is the best. When you utter a mantram and call on a God-head, you are supposed to, but you often forget to let your body express the corresponding emotion of joy, etc., in your eagerness to complete the set number of utterances. It is more direct to remember to express the joy or peace denoted by the Mantra as often as one can.

This neck is yours. If you have not remembered it, and not given it a thought, not given it all its possible movements at least once or twice a day, sometimes not even once a week, some muscle strips are bound to go rusty and let you down, giving you interesting symptoms, giddiness, flashes of light etc. This enables you to wear a special leather-collar round your neck prescribed by top-specialists, as a certificate for your chronic neglect of your machinery.

So with the other parts of your body.
