A Spiritual Man 251
(3) He still possesses a body, for he is not a disembodied spirit;
yet physical weariness, pain, and demand do not impel the spirit to
topple from its ascended position. Every member of the body has
become an instrument of righteousness.
To conclude, then, a spiritual man is one who belongs to the spirit:
the whole man is governed by the inner man: all the organs of his
being are subject completely to it. His spirit is what stamps his life as
unique—everything proceeds from his spirit, while he himself
renders absolute allegiance to it. No word does he speak nor act does
he perform according to himself; rather does he deny his natural
power each time in order to draw power from the spirit. In a word, a
spiritual man lives by the spirit.
