Sukshuma sarira - the astral body
My question to AI:
Osho uses this metaphor, 'astral
body' in his writings. Is it the same
what Maha Swami refers to as sukshuma sarira?
Sarvashri AI:
Yes, Osho's "astral
body" and Maha Swami’s (Maha Periyava) "sukshma sarira" refer to
the same overarching metaphysical layer of existence, but they are framed
within completely different maps of consciousness. While both point to the intangible,
non-physical vehicle that carries memories, desires, and karmic imprints across
lifetimes, their technical breakdowns differ.
Coming back to our scribbling:
At the outset like AI gives its
disclaimer, the Readers may do their independent reading, research, consulting
experts before they make their conclusion.
When I read the word disclaimer,
one quintessential குறள்
that splashes is, with due respects to all,
"எப்பொருள் யார்யார்வாய்க்
கேட்பினும் அப்பொருள் மெய்ப்பொருள் காண்ப தறிவு".
Back again to the topic:
Sukshuma sarira - the astral body
Is there a layer beyond physical
frame whether in lifetime or several life times?
What?! Several life times????!!!
Is it matter for scientists or
health experts to make their own theories?
Not for an ordinary man or lay
individual?
May other religions wouldn't
subscribe and endorse that there is nothing, literally away when one's life
ends. Their notion is everything ends with the last breath and no thing,
nothing beyond.
But we believe in karmic
succession life after life, karmic effect trails regardless of whether we do
good or not so good - punya or to say bluntly paba, . Like camphor dissolves and go traceless, the
karmic effects travel ceaselessly until the time total liberation happens.
Karma just does not restrict itself to doing anything physically; it involves
how soulfully we do a work also.
We are not here to prove
anything. It is up to one to have one's
own perspective.
Yet, we could refer to a real
life incident that Osho narrated in his 'Hidden Mysteries':
He cites the real life story of
Edgar Cayce, a devout Christian who died in 1945. Edgar had a fall from a
tree. The treating doctors had almost given up. To them, Cayce in
deep coma, could die any moment. Suddenly even as he was in coma, to the
shock of the Doctors, he uttered certain herbal compound could get him back on
the feet. The herbs had to be mobilized. Doctors felt why not we
try. They did and Cayce was back on his feet. The wow thing is Cayce
was not any expert in any herbs in his current Avatar. The herbs he
referred to were all remnants of his memory spread over various births.

NO MIND ......
There is a
notion.
That getting
to know one’s true self is a matter to pursue in the evening of one’s
life. Not when one is in the prime of
youth, to earn a livelihood, look after family.
Not an urgency, nor a priority.
How naïve that
notion seems to be?
Bhagavan
elsewhere asks what use is it of to know all else except one’s own true
self. How do we know the true self?
Is there a
method?
Bhagavan says
the only way how you can is through His potent question:
“WHO AM I?”
Enquiring
into one’s own self – Atma vicharaa.
Rumi queries,
"And you? When will you begin
that long journey into yourself?”
Right the emphasis is on getting to
know one’s true self.
The vichara way when it sets you into
chidswarupa- transcendental state, you are not lazing around. Your real dynamo sparks even more brightly,
and your work whatever it is shines, excels and would be more aesthetic.
