What is then 'bodiless, while still maintaining a body'? If you retain mahat, ahamkara and mind, its not the *physical* body. <snip> > > But with or without physical body? > > WITH a physical body.

But that's *without* physical body. Ramalinga is not in a physical body anymore. He left it, or rather didn't leave it in a room in Vadalur. So you are contradicting your statements above, i.e. that it is *with* a physical body. Anyway, in both cases it has nothing to do with waht Maharishi describes as Unity Consciousness. Thats not about future subtle bodies. It's about present Unity. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
