LECTURE TEN
SYNOPSIS
* Three things leave the body when it dies :
* The soul * the karma body * the taijasa body * One of these is formless and the other two have forms. * The body is continuously changing. * Life is a chain of succession - body from the jīva, virya
(energy) from the body, yoga from vīrya, self-negligence from yoga and karma bondage from selfnegligence. Two fundamental substances which produce the entire
universe - Body with jīva and body without a jīva. * Three constituents of the awakening of energy-Perceptive
meditation on long breathing, perceptive meditation on normal breathing, perceptive meditation on subtle breath
ing. * Breath connected with prāņa (vital force), prāņa connected
with subtle prāņa and subtle prāņa connected with subtle
body. * Breath control, the key to the whole process of perceptive
meditation. * There are several conducting centres in the body. Concen
tration on these centres brings about a development of various powers.
