He is pleased but not pleased, afflicted but grieves not. Such wonderful states of his, only those like him can discern and appreciate.
To be embodied is to have all the biological and psycho-intellectual functions intact, even healthier. As is the biological aggregate, with all its organs in proper function, initiating and responding to inputs relevant to the body, so too should be the inner mind, intellect and ego, which go together with the body.
Thus, like heat and cold for the body, are pleasure and pain for the mind, knowledge and its opposite for the intelligence; all should be intact. Then alone embodied life will be sweet, harmonious and fulfilling. The Knower should feel hunger, respond to it too by having timely food, give exercises to the body, especially joints. He should regard pain as a notice giver, attending to the disorder in time. Pain not attended to can bring severe harm to the body.
The Knower should think well, understand also, employing his mind and intelligence properly every time, like treating pain and when relieved of it, stopping the treatment. Like this, in the sensory, mental and intellectual levels, he will have all the agility needed to ensure quality of life.
In the level of the ego too, there should be ample alertness, whereby ego gets sublimated and enriched, making the Knower’s life more and more benedictory every time. Any individual life should be enriching and benevolent to the society. A rare model as the Knower is, more and more people should get exposed to him and gain enlightenment, making the society nobler and more delightful!
