| This
body belongs to the spirit world.
What
is this astral body? An etherel air existence in the shape of cocoon is in our
body. This is eternal to some extent after death.
Actually
it is a counterpart of our physical body. It has come to exist in our bosom. This
peculiar body is a truth and exists in life planet.
The
process of liberation of the life principle starts right from our first birth
and goes on till it gets liberated from the astral body. This liberating process
goes on in this world till the death of a person and the process continues in
the ether space till it either gets liberated and merges with the total macro
life principle of the universe or takes rebirth.
The aspiration, thinking and struggling
to liberate from this small etherel existence is mainly to merge with the total
macro life principle of the universe.
The
religious thinkers of India are experts in this line.
In the fourth month of growth
of the fetus in the mother's womb, the super natural etherel existence enters
through the brain of the mother and gives life to the growing principle of the
baby inside the womb.
The
consciousness of a person and the absolute conscious of the creation are studded
in this human etherel body.
When
this body associates with our growing birth, the first thinking of "one's self"
is called identification of life. This is our own surviving life now in the body.
