style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>HE</span> fatigue of the
body comes from an inner disharmony. There may be many other apparent reasons,
but all amount to that fundamental circumstance viz. a want of balance among
the different parts of the being. That may occur on a day when, for example,
you had a lot of energy and you spent too much. But such is usually not the
case with children. They spend and go on spending till they are not able to do
any more. A child is very active till the last moment when it drops dead
asleep. A minute before it was moving about, running, shouting, all on a sudden
it falls down into deep sleep. And that is how they grow and gain strength. So
the trouble does not lie in spending. Spending is easily repaired by necessary
rest. Fatigue and lethargy come from a different source.</p>

think they have only to continue to do what they do everyday, perform the same
work, with the same state of consciousness regularly and everything will be
all right. But things do not happen that way. All on a sudden in the midst of
the regular movement, you do not know why or how, a part of your being – some
feeling, or thought – makes a progress, discovers a new thing, receives a light
or a higher impulsion. That part shoots ahead, as it were, and goes forward:
the other parts remain behind. That brings about a disharmony and it is quite
sufficient to cause fatigue, even much fatigue. Truly, however, this is not
fatigue, but a desire to keep quiet, to concentrate, to remain within oneself
and build a new harmony between the disparate parts. And such a state or period
is quite necessary which is a period of assimilation of what one has learnt, of harmonisation of all the limbs.</p>

kind of food the body requires? Yes, simply this, how much to take and when to
take? You do not know. You are taught all kinds of things. You learn why and
how this earth moves or the sun does not, why or how the triangle consists of
two right angles: your faculties of imagination and discrimination are set to
the task and get sharpened. But this little bit of exact knowledge you do not
have – the quantity of food you must take and the hour when the body needs it.
It may be you are not unaware at times of this exact need. But to know properly
demands a discipline, continuous labour for years perhaps. Years indeed you
require when it is a matter of control over your mind, of attaining a
consciousness subtle enough to enable you to come in contact with the elements
of transformation and progress, to know how to regulate for your body the exact
amount of physical effort, material activity, expenditure and reception of
energy, how to secure the proportion between what is received and what is given
out, how to utilise energy to re-establish the equilibrium that was broken in
order to push forward new cells that were lagging behind and then how to build
up conditions for a further step in upward progress to be possible etc., etc.
The task is formidable. And yet that is the thing to be done if you want the
body to be transformed. First of all, you must bring the body into complete
harmony with the inner consciousness. That means a work in each cell of the
body, in each small activity, in each movement of the organs. Only that and
nothing more can keep you busy day and night with no other thing to look to. It
is not easy to maintain the effort, the concentration, the inner vision in a
continuous manner.</p>

the cells, your inner physical organisation, if the body is to answer to the
force that descends. First of all, you must be conscious of your physical
cells, you must know their different functions, the degree of receptivity in
each, which of them are in good condition and which are not. Even the simple
thing you do not know whether you are tired or not, not to speak of why you are
tired. You do not know if you have a pain somewhere, and why it is there. It is
exactly for this reason that you run to the doctor. For you have the illusion
that the doctor would know better how to look into what is there inside your
body and what is happening there. That does not seem to be quite rational, but
there is the habit.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

affair. And yet this is only the ABC of body-transformation.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
