A strong vital is one that is full of life-force, has ambition, courage, great energy, a force for action or for creation, a large expansive movement whether for generosity in giving or for possession and lead and domination, a power to fulfil and materialise – many other forms of vital strength there are also. It is often difficult for such a vital to surrender itself because of this sense of its own powers – but if it can do so, it becomes an admirable instrument for the Divine Work.
