Sri Aurobindo — Unknown addressee

March 4, 1933

The navel is the chief vital centre below the emotional,– there is another centre of small vital movements below it,– between the navel and Muladhara.

It is the lower vital energy that rushes to the brain and either confuses it and prevents mental self-control or else makes the mind its slave and uses reason to justify the passions.
