The Body is becoming Conscious

8 September 1971

It’s really a period of transition for the body. The body is

realising, becoming conscious of what in it prevents it from

being immortal, and at the same time of what can be immortal

in it. It has had moments of agony as never before in its whole

life — in connection with death, which has never happened

before. And it has understood that its very constitution was

causing this, and what it had to change. I am as though on the

threshold of an extraordinary discovery.

I could put it this way: the why of death has become clear,

and the how of immortality is … it’s a curious thing, the feeling

that there is something TO TOUCH. It can last indefinitely. The

impression of touching something and … escaping.

What seems like matter to man is … unreceptive. And in this

body it is trying to blossom. If one could last long enough for all

that to melt away, then it would be the real beginning.
