Clearing Doubts About the Body

1. The space that is without any distinguishing properties is itself Brahman which is imperceptible. In that imperceptible Brahman, the Primal Illusion (Moolamaya) appeared.
2. Know that the main attribute of the Primal Illusion is the form of wind (vayu), and that the five elements and the three gunas are all contained within that wind.
3. The wind (air element) that has emanated from the space (sky) is called the "Wind God." The fire (light) which has emanated from wind is called the "Fire God."
4. The water that has emanated from fire is the form of Lord Narayana. From water, arose the earth, which contained many seeds.
5. Within the earth there are many stones, some of which are used to create symbols representing God. Many people have experienced the existence of God because of their worship of these symbols made from stone.
6. Many people in the world also experience the existence of God because of their worship of symbols made from wood and earth, etc. All of this is due only to the existence of the one God, that is wind.
7. In different places there are many entities that are considered gods, messengers of gods, and various spirits and deities with different powers that are given different names according to the region.
8. There are many gods given masculine names, and there are numerous spirits and deities that are given neutral names.
9. There are innumerable male gods and female goddesses, deities, and spirits on the earth, but these can all be said to only exist within the form of the wind.
10. They always remain only in the form of wind, but according to various situations they may assume bodies and conceal themselves, or they may reveal themselves to all.
11. They move around in the form of wind. Also there in the wind is the "Light of the Universe" which takes many different forms such as knowledge, desires, habits and various states of mind.
12. Wind arose in space and became divided into two forms. The listeners must be alert and think this over carefully.
13. One form is wind, which is known by all, and the second is the form of the "Light of the Universe." There are an endless number of idols in the form of various gods and goddesses that symbolize this light which illumines the world.
14. Wind has undergone many modifications, but it became divided into two main forms. Now, listen and give some thought to the form that is light.
15. Light emanated from wind, which also divided into two forms, which are hot and cold light. Listen to the description of the two forms of light.
16. From the light that is hot, the sun was formed, as well as the fire that consumes everything, and electrical energy, such as lightening.
17. From the light that is cool, water, nectar, the moon and stars, and all cool things were formed. Now, the listeners are asked to remain attentive.
18. The light element has undergone various modifications in many ways, but only two have been described. Similarly, water has divided into two forms and is explained here basically only in these two forms, which are the forms of simple water and that of nectar50.
19. Now, give some thought to the element of earth. Stones and mud are considered to be the common form of earth, and gold, precious gems, and the philosopher’s stone are considered to be the second form.
20. Many varieties of stones come from the earth. Upon examination and careful thought, one is able to determine which are true gems and which are false.
21. The main question that still remains is, "From where, is it that living beings have come into existence?" The listeners are asked to keep their state of mind alert, and to listen attentively.
