So it too is not 'you'. The causal body is affected by attachment and detachment, the world and its objects, through reaction and reflection. So, it too cannot be 'you'. 'You' are beyond all three. You are not limited by these three containers - one within the other, one finer than the other. There are five sheaths within which the I shines. Of these, the (the material sheath), is the gross body. The subtle body consists of the next three sheaths, (the vital sheath), (the mental sheath) and (the intellectual sheath). The causal body is the (bliss conscious sheath). Even this is a limitation, a phase, a characteristic. The I has no such bounds or bondage. The who can make you cognise this I is your own mind. Turn it towards Intelligence and , you are in the right path; turn it towards the vital, the material, you slide down the path of perdition.
