Light on Life: Chapter 4


Continuing with our journey through Light on Life and deeper into the kosas, we move to the manomaya kosa (mental body). The mental body connects with the thinking brain, ego, perception and memory and as we gain a deeper understanding of these facets it becomes easier to move deeper in understanding not only ourselves, but our relation to the world around us.

Please read Chapter 4 in Light on Life and take a look at some of the sūtras in the heading. Some of the key concepts that we will be discussing on Thursday are manas – mind, buddhi – intelligence, ahamkara – ego, and asmita – egoism.

As with much of this book, there are many principles to explore and the sūtras chosen are only sixteen of the many possible – are there any others that you can relate to this chapter?
