There's a great synergy described by Mishima between spirit and body here that I think is very greatly described. A beautiful mind must be honed by effort in honing one's own body, and vice versa.

It's morbid, perhaps - but also comforting, how the author presents death. As the degradation of life occurs, beauty wastes away - but one must meet death with beauty and hone oneself with the discipline of steel.
