THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
For anyone to remember the Soul (Atma), food is very essential. From
Divine Soul (Brahman) Ether emerged. From Ether came Air. From Air was born
Fire. And from Fire came Water. From Water, Earth emerged, and from the Earth,
various plants and food. Finally from food, human beings evolved. To attain
union with the Divine, one has to cross all these stages and take the return
journey. The life principle present within our gross body, is called Prana.
Within the sheath of Prana (Pranamaya Kosha), is present the sheath of mind
(Manomaya Kosha) and within it, the subtler sheath of intellect (Vijnanamaya
Kosha). Latent in the Vijnanamaya Kosha is the sheath of bliss (Ananadamaya
Kosha). Many people stop journeying after reaching the Mind sheath. To attain
bliss you must proceed onward, beyond food, mind and the sheath of the
intellect. (Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Chapter 2)
