Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 superimposed on the rope, the five Koshas are superimposed on the Atman. Disciple: What is Apavadayukti? Guru: It is sublation or negation of the five sheaths through “neti-neti” doctrine. Disciple: What are the Shad Urmis? Guru: Birth and death (for the physical body), hunger and thirst (for the Pranamaya Kosha), grief and delusion (Soka and Moha) for the Manomaya Kosha. Disciple: Why are they called Urmis? Guru: Just as there are waves in the ocean, these Shad Urmis are the waves in the ocean of this Samsara. Disciple: How to develop the Vijnanamaya Kosha? Guru: Through Viveka (discrimination), Vichara (enquiry), meditation on Atman, Japa of Omkara, etc. Disciple: What will be the use of this purified and developed Vijnanamaya Kosha? Guru: It will serve as a fortress to prevent coming in of sensual Samskaras from without and prevent the Samskaras of the Anandamaya Kosha or Karana Sarira from coming outside, it will help you to enter into profound meditation and Atma Vichara.
