There is a wise use of the body and an unwise one. The philosopher increases its value as a servant by improving its health and increasing its vital force. These energies will be used to strengthen concentration and sustain meditation on one side of his being, and to cultivate will and rule the passions on the other. The unwise way is to drive the body into fanatic asceticisms and foolish extremes. It should become a useful ally.
