15. Existence-Awareness Relationship to Jiva, Subtle & Causal Body – BG CH2.13

Chapter 2, Verse 12: We explore the paradigm shift needed from seeing oneself as a limited individual to understanding one's true nature as sat-cit (Existence-Consciousness). Analogy of space and a cup is used to illustrate how Atma (Self) is unaffected by the changing conditions of body-mind.Chapter 2, Verse 13: Stages of life (childhood, youth, old age) and reincarnation is introduced. Jiva (individual) is made of three bodies: physical (sthula-sharira), subtle (sukshma-sharira), and causal (karana-sharira). The subtle body is further broken down into cittam, buddhi, manas, and ahamkara.To help you understands your nature, you can chant the Pavamāna Mantra mantra , which is a praying asking to take me from ignorance to knowledge, from darkness to light, from mortality to immortality.See notes for this session at: https://www.yesvedanta.com/bg2/
