Man weakens himself believing three impostors:Nama, Rupa and Guna. When he says his name is such and such and when he answers ‘Here I am’ when that name is called, he is impostor number one. When he describes himself as ill or well, weak or strong, poor or rich, he is impostor number two! When he is depressed because he suffers loss or pain, and excited because he secured profit, he is impostor number three! He has no name; he has all the names that God has! He has no phases; his body has them, but he is not the body. His car may be out of order; he may be crumbling; but he is unaffected. Loss or gain, pain and pleasure, the entire dual throng is delusion, caused by the play of fancy of fact. These delusions have to dispersed by the acquisition of three kinds of knowledge and the consequent mental attitudes; Adhibhutam, concerning all perishable things including the body and its appurtenances, that is to say, the Jiva; Adhi-daiva, concerning the Divine Forces that prompt action (the Quarters, ruling the ear; the Air; ruling the sense of touch; the Sun presiding over the eye; the Deity of Waters,Varuna, ruling over the Tongue; the Ashwini Kumaras, ruling over the Nose; Fire presiding over speech; Indra over the hands; Upendra over the Feet; Mitra over the Alimentary System; Prajapati over the generative; Chandra or the Moon presiding over the Mind), in short, the Ishvara or Saguna aspect of God with various contributory attributes promoting man’s progress here and hereafter; and, lastly, the Adhi-atma, concerning the Atma that is the individualised being the Universal eternal Atma Itself.
