Four Levels of Activity

Human activity is primarily in four levels, says Swamiji in this track. The first is the physical level where activity is performed with the body, limbs and sensory organs. Next is the oral activity where sounds are produced. Superior to these external activities is the mental activity where the thinking, remembering etc. are done by the mind. Still higher and deeper is the activity done by the intelligence where there is a quest for knowledge.

Swamiji exhorts all seekers to evaluate and understand the two inner activities–the activities performed by the mind and intelligence. They constitute the deepest and loftiest levels of activity which have a transforming effect on the personality of the seeker.
