This document discusses the distinction between the self (consciousness) and the body (material) in a human being. It notes that the self has needs of feelings and happiness that are fulfilled through right understanding and feelings, while the body has material needs like food that are fulfilled through physical things. Both types of needs are important and must be understood and fulfilled separately. The activities of the self like desire, thought, and expectation occur continuously through imagination, shaping behavior and work. Harmonious imagination leads to happiness while contradictory imagination leads to unhappiness.

Sum Up
Human being is a co-existence of Self (I) and Body
Self (I) is consciousness. Its needs are feelings in consciousness (like
happiness) and these needs are fulfilled by activity of consciousness, i.e.
Right Understanding & Right Feelings
Body is material. Its needs are material (like food) and these needs are fulfilled
by material, i.e. Physio chemical things
The needs of consciousness can not be fulfilled by material
The needs of material can not be fulfilled by consciousness alone
The recognition & fulfillment of the body is definite
The recognition & fulfillment in the self (I) is on the basis of knowing, assuming

9. 9
Sum Up
The Self(I) has activity of Desire, Thought & Expectation, together called
Imagination. This is going on continuously
Behaviour/Work is an expression/outcome of Imagination
Imagination is motivated by Preconditioning, Sensation or Natural
Acceptance
Desires based on Natural Acceptance lead to harmonious thought &
expectation. This is harmony in the Self (I). This is the state of
Swatantrata. This is the state of happiness. In this state, the
behaviour/work is also mutually fulfilling – it is definite
Desires based on preconditioning or sensation may lead to contradiction
in thought & expectation. This is disharmony in the Self (I). This is the
state of Partantrata. This is the state of unhappiness. In this state, the
behaviour/work may or may not be mutually fulfilling – it is not definite
