Passage 3

In English

The students should first realise how they should act, think and behave. Man is made of mind. As is the mind, so is the man. There is an adage in English which says “So thinketh the man, so is the man.” It is the bounden duty of students to realise the profound scope and significance of humanity. Man is encased in the five sheaths: the Food sheath (), the Vital sheath (), the Mental sheath (), the Intellectual sheath () and the Bliss sheath (). The Food sheath constitutes the gross body () whereas the Vital sheath, the Mental and the Intellectual sheaths constitute the subtle body (). Whereas the gross body is the vehicle of action, the subtle body is the vehicle of experience.
