IT is evident that the finest, most perfectly constructed automobile is of itself a useless, inanimate object. It cannot start, move, or stop of itself. However, when an individual who knows how to drive takes possession of it, he can make it go and can steer it where he wishes, and it becomes a useful object for transportation, manifesting his thinking, whether calm or erratic.
Likewise, no matter how strong or well-proportioned a mortal body may seem to be, it cannot feed itself, dress itself, or walk of itself. It is nonintelligent. It has no ego nor consciousness of its own. Although it is not the individual, it, like the automobile, responds to the thinking, or consciousness, of the mind controlling it.
It is vital, therefore, that each individual learn to take possession of his body and with scientific understanding govern it. As one realizes that there is in reality only one Mind, the Mind which is God, he can steer his body into harmony.
