Almost for the whole day the previous experience of the mind’s liberation went on. During the physical actvities it was not felt so vividly and exclusively. What I fail to grasp is, however, this; since it is a (purely) mental liberation, how is it that my flesh too feels some experience?

The flesh has a consciousness as well as the mind – all the consciousness is connected together so if the mind is freed, there is no reason why there should not be an effect on the physical also.
