Self-Reulization my be; and is, attained by some people who are
struggling with sick ani otherwise inperfeot bodies, bt it cannot be
attained unless you can Jearn to concentrate and ucditate uninterrupt-
edly upon God. Since it is difficult to concmtrate md mditate while
the aches and pains of the body continually have the attention of the
mind, the path of Self-Realization is made mich easier if the imperfco-
tions of the body, and the harnonious operntions of its functions are ar-
ranged so that the mind need not at any time be interrupted in medita—
tion throvgh the demnds of the physical tody.
You will find in this series of Praccepta the knowledze by whiah
you learn to live more and more by calling upon the eterm? supply Cos-
mic Fnergy, vhich 's ever available to us, which fs within and without,
and is always all about us, and thus reemrge the body at any and at ald
times with vitality, With this knowledge, the body my be made fit in
all respects, and a perfect tody, free from disease, presents less re-
sistance to the methods. and practices by vhich Self Realization is
renched, an? by which the human consciousness, as well as the body, is
raised to the fatigueless state...
People usually concentrate upon food, air, and sunshine only in
order to keop the body well, but a time comes to everyone when health
fails in spite of all the outer meena of good food und air supplied to
it. Then it is realized that the Body Pattery has tobe recharged by
the Inner Source also. r

An automobile battery depends for its life not upon its indirect
outer source of distilled water alone, but-upon the vibrating. electric
current which flows into it from the dynamo through the mouth of the wires
(the direct Inner Source), Scelf-Realization Instruction teaches that,
just as an automobile battery necds both distilled water and elcctricity
to keep it alive, so the Body Battcry needs recharging with Life Force
through the medulla as well. as food and the ;1ysical means of sustain-
ing life. Just like the saints of India, Joss, centuries ago, gave
utterance to the great Truth thit mn's Body Eottery is charged by the
Word of God" (Inner Energy) and not by outer ‘sources alone.

In perfect relaxation, no muscles are consciously willed to bo-

arms, torso, and legs, By relnxing the muscles and limbs, you help to
