MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL :3. (a). 2.





Chapter 3 -MIND, PRANA AND KUNDALINI :


(a). PRANA—THE OUTER COAT OF MIND : 2.



Prana is gross.

Mind is subtle.

Mind is formed out of the conglomerate Sattvic essence of the five Tanmatras; whereas, Prana is formed out of the sum total of Rajasic essence of the five Tanmatras.

That is the reason why mind is more Sukshma than the Prana.



The Pranamaya Kosha (vital sheath) is more subtle than the physical body.

It overlaps the Annamaya Kosha (physical sheath) and is more extensive than it.

Manomaya Kosha is more subtle than the Pranamaya Kosha and more extensive than the vital sheath.

You have to touch the body of another man to have a physical influence over him.

Whereas you can stand at a distance and by mere ‘passes’ you can impart your Prana to him; because, Prana (vital) is more subtle than the body.

You can influence a man mentally through thought even though he lives a thousand miles away from you, because mental force is more subtle than Prana.
