46. Transformation

```

The transformation of the body

Comes last.

The transformation of the heart

Comes first.

How does the transformation of the heart

Take place?

The transformation of the heart takes place

When a seeker can consciously feel

That he is not the body

And

He is not of the body,

But

He is for the body.

To be for the body does not mean

To be satisfied with the animal propensities,

To wallow in the pleasures of ignorance.

But if the seeker cries

For the transformation of the body

And the body-consciousness,

Then the seeker becomes perfect.

Once we transform the body,

This body can then be utilised

For God-manifestation on earth.
