Sutra 14 from The Holy Science

“Purusha is covered by five koshas or sheaths.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’


Forged from the elements, our form is dust,
enlivened by spirit, the breath of God,
layered by our lower and higher mind,
with bliss manifesting when heart has thawed.

Safely encased in these sheaths, is the Self,
which is who we are, a divine God-spark
and when the five sheaths dissolve one by one,
shining as Self, we then banish the dark.
