c5.s3.t1.30

After the attempt to transcend the possibilities of the body (Veṅgī, second and third centuries), it is given a new measure beyond them, and within its transubstantiated form, in the fourth century. The speed of existence has slowed down. A sense of joy falls back upon itself, while it experiences what passes with an understanding that leads towards salvation. In self-willed relaxation, that which originally in nature had given the body its shape is released from the physical. Now it cannot but become transubstantiated form.
