Energy Bodies Diagram

PROCEDURE

Pair up the students and ask them to create a short presentation to explain the different energy bodies and how we all merge in the nirvanic layer. Ask them to create a nice visual. They can cut different shapes circles in glue them on top of one another or come up with another way to represent the diagram.

ENERGY BODIES

INFERENCE

The outermost layer is the physical layer, with which we associate ourselves all the time. We know this body as having a pair of eyes, hands, legs, one nose, head, etc. Now let us take a few points on that layer. Let us call them ‘you’, ‘me’, ‘your neighbor’, ‘Kṛṣṇa’, ‘Buddha’ etc. So, at the gross layer, you are different from your neighbor; your neighbor is different from me and different from the various forms of God. You can see each point being distinct from the others. We are so rooted in this physical gross layer and so we see many barriers between us and everything around us, because everything appears to be different from the other in this layer. Now, for each point, if we follow the corresponding points in the inner layers, as we go deeper and deeper, we suddenly realize that we all merge in the nirvanic layer
