This jiva behaves as the three bodies of vishvābhimāni, taijasābhimāni and pragnābhimāni1 with the three gunas. But behave above them as gunātit. One who walks on the path of becoming brahmarup gradually experiences increasing happiness – just as one who comes in burning from the hot sun experiences comfort by sitting under the shade of a tree; and just as one who is feeling cold experiences warmth by sitting before a fire; and just as one who is hungry becomes satisfied when he eats to relieve his hunger and thirst. Similarly, there is bliss in becoming brahmarup. Footnotes: 1. 1. Vishvābhimāni – to believe the world, whatever happens in the waking state of life and the gross or physical body to be one’s form. Taijasābhimāni – to believe the subtle body and the dream state to be one’s form. Pragnābhimāni – to believe the causal body and state of deep sleep to be one’s form. The first occurs in sattvagun, the second in rajogun and the third in tamogun.
