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.
