The recognition & fulfillment of the Body is definite

The recognition & fulfillment in the Self is on the basis of knowing,

assuming
• If the assumption is based on knowing, the assumption is right and
the recognition & fulfillment is correct → definite conduct
• If the assumption is without knowing, the assumption may or may
not be right , so the recognition & fulfillment is uncertain → indefinite

Sum Up
Human being is a co-existence of Self and Body

Self is consciousness. Its needs are feelings in consciousness (like happiness)

and these needs are fulfilled by activity of consciousness, i.e. Right
Understanding & Right Feeling
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 is on the basis of knowing, assuming
▪ If the assumption is based on knowing, the assumption is right and the
recognition & fulfillment is correct → definite conduct
▪ If the assumption is without knowing, the assumption may or may not be
right , so the recognition & fulfillment is uncertain → indefinite conduct
