will, that without will, matter would be inert and immobile and
that it is precisely the fact that the vibration of will acts on matter
that makes life possible. Otherwise there would be no life.

Q: Is the will for progress enough to prevent the deterioration that
comes with time? How can the physical being prevent this deterio-
ration?
That is precisely what the transformation of the body is: the physi-
cal cells not only become conscious, but receptive to the true
Consciousness-Force; that is, they allow the working of this higher
Consciousness. That is the work of transformation.

Q: How does one become conscious of the physical being?
Mankind, nearly all of mankind, is conscious only of the physi-
cal being. With education, the number of men who are conscious
of their vital and mind is increasing. As for the human beings who
are conscious of their psychic being, they are relatively few. If you
mean, “How does one awaken the consciousness of the physical
being?”, that is precisely the aim of physical education. It is physi-
cal education that teaches the cells to be conscious. But for the
development of the brain, it is study, observation, intelligent edu-
cation, above all observation and reasoning. And naturally, for the
whole education of the consciousness from the point of view of
character, it is yoga.

Q: After death, once separated from his physical being, from his vital
and mental beings, how is the soul conscious of being, of existing?

The soul is a spark of the Supreme Divine; I do not see
how the Lord has need of a body in order to be conscious of
his being.
