9.1 Nature of Human body.

Lord 艢颈惫补 continued his teaching to 搁腻尘补, further on the nature of human body. The whole universe is born, sustained and merged in the Lord. He is both the 鲍辫腻诲腻苍补 and Nimitta 办腻谤补峁嘺 i.e. material cause and efficient cause. The Lord, the changeless Brahman sets about the act of creation only in association with nescience or 补惫颈诲测腻 which alone is called 础产丑颈箩帽腻苍补 艢腻办耻苍迟补濒补 尘腻测腻. M膩y膩 is Lord鈥檚 power only and is the transfigurative cause ie. Vivarta-耻辫腻诲腻苍补-办腻谤补峁嘺 and is undeterminable 础产丑颈箩帽腻苍补 艢腻办耻苍迟补濒补 real or unreal. It is not unreal because it appears 础产丑颈箩帽腻苍补 艢腻办耻苍迟补濒补 the world and it is not real because it is cancelled by right knowledge of Brahman. It consists of three qualities of sattva, rajas and tamas. Only a man transcending these qualities could claim to be a Brahma 闯帽腻苍颈.

9.2 Evolution Of human being.

膧办腻艣补 originated from the Lord and from 础办腻艣补, 惫腻测耻, from 惫腻测耻 agni, from agni 腻辫补, and from 腻辫补, 辫峁泃丑颈惫墨.^[1] cf. 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补 鲍辫补苍颈峁�a诲 鈥�叠谤补丑尘腻苍补苍诲补 痴补濒濒墨鈥擫esson 1. These get intermixed through a process of 笔补帽肠墨办补谤补峁嘺 (quintuplication) and form the warp and woof of creation. From earth the plant kingdom and from plant kingdom food and from the food the human beings are evolved. From the food taken by the father the body with five sheaths are born. Thus tendons, bones and marrow are derived from the father. From the mother are born the skin, flesh and blood.

9.3 Past deeds govern.

Likes and dislikes, pleasure and pain, right and wrong, effort, knowledge, life span and sense organs, these factors are the results of one鈥檚 own past deeds or Pr膩rabda Karma.

9.4 础苍迟补岣�k补谤补苍补.

Human beings are endowed with the five sense organs and five organs of action. The function of the mind is both these put together. The internal organ (补苍迟补岣�k补谤补苍补) is four fold according to different functions 础产丑颈箩帽腻苍补 艢腻办耻苍迟补濒补 i, mind; ii, intellect; iii, egoity and iv, memory power.^[2] cf. 艢r墨艣ivag墨t膩t膩tparyaprak膩艣ik膩 .

9.5 笔谤腻峁嘺s and upapr膩峁嚹乻.

The body is identified with the soul that is the knower. That鈥檚 why; it has the qualities of hearing, speaking, acting, doing things with ease and determination. The five vital airs are 笔谤腻峁嘺, 础辫腻苍补, 痴测腻苍补, 厂补尘腻苍补 and 鲍诲腻苍补 and the 鲍辫补辫谤腻峁嘺蝉 are 狈腻驳补, 碍奴谤尘补, K峁沰ala, Devadatta and 顿丑补苍补帽箩补测补. These allow man to perform vital functions.

9.6 Mind formed of food.

The food eaten by human beings^[3] is digested by the 闯补峁环补谤补 fire becomes three fold. The most gross part of it turns into faeces. The medium becomes flesh. The last subtle part turns into mind. Hence, mind is constituted of food.

9.7 Vital airs from waters.

The grossest part^[4] of water taken in becomes urine. The medium becomes blood. The last subtle part turns into vital air. That is why vital air is of the nature of water.

9.8 Speech from fire.

From the grossest^[5] part of fire element, bones are produced. From medium part marrow and from subtle part speech arises. That is why the world is of the nature of fire, water and earth.

9.9 Fall of human life.

Lord 艢颈惫补, then, vividly narrates elemental humours, about bones, joints and formation of hair and concludes that people do not think of the sovereign means to liberation due to attachment to this body which is artificial and brittle, instead of taking revulsion towards the same. Due to this body attachement and sin of egoity the fall of human life is imminent. So, the wise should learn the nature of the body.

Thus ends the ninth chapter of 艢颈惫补-g墨t膩.
