Vedanta & Its Cosmology

A sharira is a container or sheath for essence.

The body is a container for prana.

Prana is a container for mind.

Mind is a container for Intellect.

Intellect is a container for Intelligence/bliss.

Intelligence is the first compound, and it creates a sheath for itself called the Atmamayakosha.

Koshas are more sentient; akashas are insentient, and a good system for measuring the different realms.  Koshas partake more of sattva, and akashas more of tamas.

Western science is pseudo Advaitic, based on conservation of energy and transformation of matter to energy and energy to matter.  A higher and deeper form of oneness is yet to be realized there.
