Namaste, The kosas are mental constructs really, even in illusion. However I would wonder who broke it up like you have done above? For example biology is to do with the food sheath or body. Everything is in the prana for that's all there really is. Behavioural Science and Psychology I would put in the manomayakosa and most of man's thinking and intelligence. Vijnanamayakosa or 'Awareness Sheath' speaks for itself. In the end result one doesn't have to understand the molecular structure of water to get out of the swimming pool. Sankara said death is separation from out attachments, so that is where the enquiry is located. His guru's guru said it never happened at all and that is where the enquiry ends.........ONS..Tony.
