subtle (lunar) body of the nature of mind, replete
with desires and hence it, in turn, generates the
gross body. Just as a snow ball melts with the rays
of the sun and is converted into water, so your
gross body will be changed permanently into the
subtle body through development of the true Jnana
and the abandoning of the Vasanas. This is the
Jivanmukti state. Then the all-full Jnana alone will
prevail in you. Therefore you will have to perceive
the former creation through your original subtle
