SIddhARAMeShWAR ANd The MeTAphOR OF The bOdIeS The Gross Physical Body Metaphorically, The gross physical body has no consciousness. It is not an independent being. It is an idea, a mirage giving the illusion “AS If” it is the source or center of its world, a separate, independent, individual entity that can achieve enlightenment or realization. Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 35): “It is not possible for a phenomenal object to achieve something and this (body) is only a phenomenal object. The Mind: Subtle Body or dream body Metaphorically, the mind also called the subtle body or dream body, by Siddharameshwar, contains thoughts, memories, emotions, associations, perceptions, a perceiver, the body image. The mind or subtle or dream body gives the illusion that the body which is a thought or image is independent containing a separate independent self with its own self nature independent of other selves. Contained within this is the illusion that the mind resides in the body, in the skull, rather than one mind, which contains everything. The linguistic metaphor called the mind, brings with it the illusion, that it resides in an individual skull, 23
Giving the illusion of creating its own thoughts, memories, emotions, associations, perceptions, etc. This is an illusion in the mind or subtle body. The body too is a thought form in the mind, which is made of consciousness. Contemplate: “Is there a mind prior to the word mind?” Nisargadatta Maharaj, pg. 427: “In fact, there is no body or a world to contain it. There is only a mental condition, a dream-like state easy to dispel by questioning its reality.” There is no separate independent existence separate from the consciousness The Casual Body: The space between Metaphorically, the space between two thoughts, or gap, or blank space between two breaths. Can be referred to as the space with a small “s”. or the gap with a small “g” or the blank with a small “b”, and metaphorically is “prior” to the mind or subtle body, and is called by Siddharameshwar, the Casual Body. It appears as the space between two thoughts, the space or gap between two breathes, but it too is an illusion. 24
