Our Soul Is A Prisoner
At present, our soul is firstly a prisoner in the triple-walled fortress of the physical, astral, and causal bodies. Then the chains of mind, maya, the three gunas, five tattvas, and the twenty-five prakritis bind it down woefully. Lust, greed, anger, vanity, pride, attachment, and passion have made a slave of the soul.
a Perfect Master can guide the individual soul to do the right meditation, working under the guidance of a Perfect Master, withdraws his consciousness from the ‘nine doors,’ sheds the three sheaths that cover the soul, removes the dragging chains, overpowers the mind and maya, and reaches the higher Spiritual region beyond astral and causal regions, where, having realized his kinship with God. When the individual reaches the spiritual height where he realizes that the two – he and the Lord – are of the same essence, though one is the Ocean and the other a drop, then he joyfully exclaims “That am I.”
Three gunas are three qualities or attributes of matter, i.e.: Sat, Raj and Tam – whose function is to create, support, and destroy this world.
Five tattvas are five elements that create this world and the creations, i.e.: earth, water, fire, air, ether.
