The ascent to the divine Life is the human journey, the Work of works, the acceptable Sacrifice. This alone is man's real business in the world and the justification of his existence, without which he would only be an insect crawling among the ephemeral insects on a speck of surface mud and water which has managed to form itself amid the appalling immensities of the physical universe.

The navel region is the centre of the vital. It is from here that the movements of the vital rise upward.

In between the Mulādhāra and the navel, there is another centre of the vital.

To house God's joy in things Space gave wide room,
To house God's joy in self our souls were born.
