What in reality is this body? It is but the Atma (soul) encased in five Koshas or sheaths – Annamaya (sheath composed of food), Pranamaya (sheath composed of vitality), Manomaya (one composed of thought), Vijnanamaya (sheath of intelligence), and Aanandamaya
(sheath of bliss). By understanding this truth and contemplating over
it, one attains discrimination to recede from these sheaths to the
inner, more real core. Thus, step by step, a spiritual aspirant abandons
one sheath after another and is able to dissolve away all of them, to
achieve the knowledge of his unity with Brahmam (Divinity).
