The Fourth Way |
|
|
 |
Tensions form a very great
part of the whole unfortunate condition of human beings which prevent
them from being what they wish to be. When we are tense, there cannot be
a free flow of energy, there is constant wastage of energy at every
point in our body where we are tense.

First one must struggle with oneself.
