ABSTRACT
The soul is eternal and pure in its nature though finite in its powers. Innate power is in the nature of things of one kind only according to the Vedas, but in the material world it is differentiated to consist of twenty-four varieties of powers. Strength is of three kinds— brutal strength, mental strength, and spiritual strength. Brutal strength is animal in all its aspects, and is a great asset for resisting the different attacks upon the life of a human body in which the soul is encased. Mental strength wants in real vitality naturally works upon the bodily constitution bringing mental diseases which in turn are translated into bodily ailments. Mental strength is the root means of education in different fields and for culture of the highest type. Spiritual strength is not afraid of bodily ailments or mental disabilities, but is a great incentive and impetus to rise the two forces of physical and mental strength.
