5 Sheaths




 Imagine the Human-being as Self

encased in 5 Wrappings like a Russian Doll

Starting from the (outer-most)

  1. Material Body (energized by Food) - Physical Sheath
  2. Next is vitality (Prana) - Vital Sheath
  3. Next the Mind (Manas) - Mental Sheath
  4. Next the Intuition (Buddhi) - Wisdom Sheath
  5. and Finally Self! (Joy!) - Bliss!!! (Innermost)

My note:

The answer for Who am 'I': rests here in Prana Upanishad 

Can you peel the onion layers of sheaths above to discover your true Self?

How do you do that?

That's what the Upanishads provide you with the answers!!!
