3 Division of an individual into 3 components, namely

3.1 Physical body (Obvious)
3.2 Mind (Subtle "Equipment")
3.3 Intellect (Subtlest)

These components together form insentient matter.

Consciousness* supplies sentience.

This union causes the manifestation of life.

*Consciousness (a supernatural belief) is stated supreme of all.

Part I of II of this Update

1 Understanding one's true identity is crucial for healthy relationships with others.
2 It presents an interesting hierarchy: Physical Craving < Emotional Need < Intelligence

No man, can be changed or reformed unless his mind changes; and the mind can never change unless the structure and composition of the thoughts are changed.
A change in thoughts can be effected by three methods, namely,
1) By reducing the quantity of thoughts.
2) By improving the quality of thoughts and
3) By giving different direction to the thoughts.

Points To Be Noted~
Every Individual has his distinct Tendencies viz Vasanas. Though our activities appear to be defined by our tendencies, man has unique capacity, denied to all other living creatures, to exercise Self-Effort in choosing his actions. By persistent & prolonged application of this faculty every human being can erase his inherent tendencies and reach pinnacle of perfection.
