We have already considered the dominant power of physical life, the creative power which secures the continuance of physical life; and, further, the manner in which, through aspiration and sacrifice, it is gradually raised and set to the work of upbuilding the body of the spiritual man. WE HAVE ALREADY CONSIDERED THE DOMINANT POWER OF PHYSICAL LIFE THE CREATIVE POWER WHICH SECURES THE CONTINUANCE OF PHYSICAL LIFE AND FURTHER THE MANNER IN WHICH THROUGH ASPIRATION AND SACRIFICE IT IS GRADUALLY RAISED AND SET TO THE WORK OF UP BUILDING THE BODY OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN
the spiritual man, and ignorance even of his existence; for by this blind ignorance are closed the channels through which, were they open, the creative force could flow into the body of the spiritual man, there building up an immortal vesture. There is no cure for blindness, with its consequent over-pressure and attendant misery and shame, but spiritual vision, spiritual aspiration, sacrifice, the new birth from above. There is no other way to lighten the burden, to lift the misery and shame from human life. Therefore, let us follow after sacrifice and aspiration, let us seek the light. In this way only shall we gain that insight into the order of the bodily powers, and that mastery of them, which this Sutra implies. 30. By perfectly concentrated Meditation on the centre of force in the well of the throat, there comes the cessation of hunger and thirst. We are continuing the study of the bodily powers and centres of force in their relation to the powers and forces of the spiritual man. NESS REGARDING THE SPIRITUAL MAN AND IGNORANCE EVEN OF HIS EXISTENCE FOR BY THIS BLIND IGNORANCE ARE CLOSED THE CHANNELS THROUGH WHICH WERE THEY OPEN THE CREATIVE FORCE COULD FLOW INTO THE BODY OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN THERE BUILDING UP AN IMMORTAL VESTURE THERE IS NO CURE FOR BLINDNESS WITH ITS CONSEQUENT OVERPRESSURE AND ATTENDANT MISERY AND SHAME BUT SPIRITUAL VISION SPIRITUAL ASPIRATION SACRIFICE THE NEW BIRTH FROM ABOVE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO LIGHTEN THE BURDEN TO LIFT THE MISERY AND SHAME FROM HUMAN LIFE THEREFORE LET US FOLLOW AFTER SACRIFICE AND ASPIRATION LET US SEEK THE LIGHT IN THIS WAY ONLY SHALL WE GAIN THAT INSIGHT INTO THE ORDER OF THE BODILY POWERS AND THAT MASTERY OF THEM WHICH THIS SUTRA IMPLIES SUTRA THIRTY BY PERFECTLY CONCENTRATED MEDITATION ON THE CENTRE OF FORCE IN THE WELL OF THE THROAT THERE COMES THE CESSATION OF HUNGER AND THIRST WE ARE CONTINUING THE STUDY OF THE BODILY POWERS AND CENTRES OF FORCE IN THEIR RELATION TO THE POWERS AND FORCES OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN
