Q. How does the soul adorn the body?
A. The soul and the body are the same essence. The soul has formed the body from itself only. The soul is finer, the body is grosser. What in the soul may be called vibration, in the body turns into atoms. Thought is finer, speech is grosser. Feeling is finer, action is grosser. By the example how thought turns into speech, we understand how the finer becomes the grosser. A thought arises in the mind of an infant, or of an animal, a bird. The thought increases in intensity, it controls the breath, and the breath coming out of the body, produces sounds. These are the first words. Every animal has sounds by which it expresses its joy and sorrow. The language composed of these natural sounds may be called sacred.
