The notions of some sects that inward spirituality confers immunity from outward trouble or bodily death need correction. Freedom, whether of choice or from limitation, is mental. The consequences of belonging to the human species include sharing human conditions. The body is born, grows, and dies. The people among whom a man has to live react to him according to their own character, affect him adversely or beneficially.
