Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

Dynamism is everywhere, because the Force (Shakti) is everywhere. The perfect dynamism is there in the Supermind; no other can be unfailing.

Why does the body not stand dynamism?

Why not? It depends on the condition of the body or rather of the physical and most material consciousness.

In one condition it is tamasic, inert, unopen and cannot bear or cannot receive or cannot contain the force; in another rajas predominates and tries to seize on the dynamism, but wastes and stills and loses it; in another, there is receptivity, harmony, balance and the result is a harmonizing action without strain or effort.
