As long as we were peaceful, body, mind and life-force were at a uniform pace and in mutual consonance and coordination. But when emotion has caused the rate of the physical cells to go up ten times; the speed of the mind has become a thousand-fold; and as for the life-energy, it works at a hundred times the original level. Co-ordination between life and body, between life and mind and between body and mind has ceased to be. What is the result? Disease in the body starting with hypertension; and upsets in thought pattern leading to wrong and harmful action. This brings down our immunity level; and given the same set of circumstances for a second time, the reaction is automatic.
