Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Rest of the seven great knowledges, play a secondary role in our life on earth, being supportive of the first three. For example, "Kamla" gives a helping hand to divine energy "Sodhasi" and "Bhairavi" gives a helping hand to "Tara". All these seven great knowledges are usually understood by the advanced spiritual masters who utilize them individually for the benefit of the mankind. For common humans, only the first three great knowledges are sufficient for their existence. All humans possess a physical body called "Annamay Kosh" , which is supported through food matter. Inside this food body is another similar body known as "Pran Maya Kosh" or Ethereal Body , and inside that is the mental body "Mano Maya Kosh" , and inside that is the intellect body "Gyan Maya Kosh" , and finally the last body is the body of bliss called "Anand Maya Kosh". All the five bodies are connected at the navel in the same way we are connected with our mother through navel at the time of birth. Similarly, all the five bodies detach from the navel at the time of death in all humans. This phenomenon, however, does not affect advanced masters of spiritual yoga. Though the life force itself leaves the body through its various parts depending on that person's level of spirituality during his stay. People who have done nothing but wrong actions and have never nurtured God's creation and were instrumental in destroying it by living a self centered life are not deemed as spiritual souls and these people's life force exits through their genital areas at the time of death. The life force of people who have done both good and bad actions during their stay on this planet earth , leave their body through their mouth or nasal area. The life force of people who have done more good than bad by nurturing and advancing God's creation without any selfish motive leave their body through their eyes. In case of Yogis, whether householder or aestics, who have uplifted the codes of Dharma ( Religion ) by staying fully devoted to God, their life force exits the body through the center of the skull ("Brahamrandha"). These above mentioned five bodies are only available to human beings and the animals posses only food body as their other bodies remain undeveloped just like a seed of a tree. Basically, all the spirits in the soul form known as "Jivatma" (soul of the living being) come on this planet earth by dissecting itself into two parts and take birth in the form of a male and female body in all living beings. After birth, their main objective becomes to reunite with each other. At times, it could take a short time and in many cases it may involve many life cycles and that is the main reason of unhappiness of all human beings. When the two parts of the soul meet each other, they become one or "Purnatma" which is known as fulfillment of the soul. When this happens, the soul gets liberated from the bondages of the birth cycles and is known as "Jivan Mukta". Yogis may choose to come to this planet without the phenomenon of soul dissection as they have to fulfill their respective duties by living a celibate life.
