Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India

The microcosm the human personality consists of three bodies : (I) the causal body which during the period of ignorance limits consciousness and gives it the covering of the ego; (2) the mental or the emotion body; and (3) the gross body. [...] The third is in the region of the navel the fourth in the region of the heart the fifth corresponds to the throat and finally the sixth is between the eyebrows. [...] The finer the music and the more spiritual the musician the higher will the subtle power rise until it reaches the highest and is united with the Supreme Spirit—the Soul of all souls. [...] With the help of sincere devotion and medittion the soul becomes free from the bondage of the mind and as it moves steadily from lower to higher planes of consciousness the limitations dissolve and the soul at last meets the Beloved the Oversoul on the plane of superconsciousness. [...] According to the testimony of NAgesha a recent writer on the Vedic Shakhas the Ekayana Shakha is but another name for the Karma Shakha of the White Yajur-Veda—a fact which would well agree with the statement of the Jayakhya Sarnhitii that the five earliest propounders of the system l'eferred to above belonged to the Kanva Shakha of the Yajur-Veda.
