Letter 9 (2) Tejas Vargana (hora antun ) or Luminous Vargana. (3) Bhasha Vargana ( 4141 arfurt ). Speech Vargana. (4) Mano Vargana. ( Hata ton ) Mind forming Vargana. (5) Karman Vargana ( Gratur antu). Karmic Vargana.
Let us see in short about their classification.
(1) Ahar Vargana :- This Vargana is most gross of all the Varganas. From this Pudgal Skandha or Vargana, three different types of bodies are formed. (a) Audarik ( artifici) or gross body. (b) Vaikriyik ( afafura ) or fluid body. (c) Aharak ( BUTERS ) or assimilative, projectable body.
Actually, whatever things we see around us, like rocks, soil, steel, cloth, trees etc. are the forms of Anar Vargana. The bodies of all living beings i.e. the bodies of human beings, animals, Devas i.e. heavenly gods and Narakies i.e. hellish beings are all made up of this Ahar Vargana.
(11) Tejas Vargana :- The shine or gloss is known as Tejas. From this Skandha, the luminous body is formed. And our human body gets its shine or gloss and heat due to this luminous body. Therefore we find that a dead body is dull and cold, because it is without Tejas (luminous ) body.
(III) Bhasha Vargana :- Sound, words are formed out of this Vargana. Even according to modern science we know about the sound waves, which can be received or transmitted via radio. Their length also can be measured, which proves them to be Pudgal.
(IV) Mano Vargana :- This Pudgal Skandha forms the physical mind or Dravya Man ( 12447). This has the shape of a lotus, with eight petals and is rested in the chest area of our body. But, since it has very very minute or microscopic existence it is not visible even while operating on the chest. Its functions are thoughts, capacity to grasp the preachings, memory etc. And the soul does the job of knowing them. Even in ordinary language we say -'I had this thought in my mind.'
(V) Karman Vargana :- Karman body is formed from this Vargana.
Once you get this information about the Pudgal substance, we will realise so many other things. Such as, our physical body is made up of Ahar Vargana, language ( speech) is made up of Bhasha Vargana; the mind is made up of Mano Vargana, and Karma out of Karman Vargana. And since all these are types of Pudgal substance they are Achetan area i.e. without life or spirit or knowledge. None of the Varganas has knowledge or Chaitanya. Knowledge is the attribute of the soul only.
Now, we know the real meaning of the statements in our scriptures which say that I am nothing but Chaitanya or sentience, different and separate from body, mind, speech, Karma etc. One does not have to separate them from one's own self or soul. In fact they are totally separate. Only one has to know it to be so.
