A heat is sometimes created in the body by the pressure of a force of tapas because there are things that resist in the vital or in the body habit or in the brain-mind – the cause of the heat is therefore not the Force itself but the resistance. As soon as the system is cleared there is no sense of heat any longer. But this heat is clearly distinguishable from illness.
