P. 115

need of the individual to get back to the source. We are trying to do that. If we take our own body into consideration and if we have got to withdraw from the material world, it is possible by withdrawal of our senses first. Senses are grosser than mind. The five sense organs and motor organs, which are, attached to the Bhutas and the Bhutadis, have to be first withdrawn. The lower limbs have to be withdrawn first before we withdraw the upper limbs. So we fold our legs and sit in an asan that is convenient. Then we try to keep our hands as unoccupied as can be. We close our eyes and ears and try not to see or hear. All the senses are thus sought to be controlled. First physical control has to be established before mental control is possible. Physical withdrawal is a must before mental withdrawal. Physical withdrawal aids us in the mental withdrawal. It helps us to concentrate when our energy doesn't get dissipated in several directions. So the asana is a must. It should be one, which is erect not to expose our ego, but to allow the flow of Divinity through us. Allow the contact to be established. We cannot just say that we close our eyes and then sit cross- legged, bend and fall down, fall straight in front.
