but once it goes you will feel a tremendous release. A grace will surround you.
The whole thing for you to remember is -- go with it, ride on it.... And everything is beautiful.
[A sannyasin said that he felt some kind of division between what he felt inside and what was expressed outwardly; that he felt open but his body looked closed. Or, he said, sometimes he wanted to act, to do something, and nothing happened.]
I understand It happens. When your mind changes, suddenly you feel a gap between the body and the mind.
The body and the mind ordinarily go together; they have a deep adjustment. But when you start meditating, the mind grows faster and the body lags behind.

If you want to teach something to the body, repeat it, then it learns. If you go on doing certain exercises every day then the body learns. If for just a few days you don't exercise, the body forgets everything. The muscles relax and
