Friends, we were talking about how action and effect are interconnected. This mutual effect is often called the karya karana sambandh parampara or cause effect relationship in scriptural philosophies. The soul produces effect through action and the Supreme Soul produces action through effect. It can be understood like this. The soul enjoys consciousness through the activity of its body. But the Supreme Soul is already full of consciousness, so his body keeps on functioning on its own. Not the activity of the common body, but the activity of the colossal body in the form of the universe. Because the consciousness of the Supreme Soul is infinite, so the body that acts due to it will also be infinite. Infinite air flows in the form of His breath. Innumerable suns shine in the form of His eyes. Innumerable works of the universe take place in the form of His arms. All the works of the universe are connected to each other in the form of His feet. Just as a man walks from home to the field and from the field to home on his feet. Therefore, the works of his house and field are connected to each other. Because all the activities of the entire universe are connected to each other. This will mean that God has innumerable legs, with which he can go everywhere at every moment. Similarly, if we start describing all the qualities of God, then not just one but innumerable books will be published. That is already well done in scriptures. The main question here is how does the bodiless soul or subtle body do all the work of the gross body?
Of course, the subtle body does all the work in a subtle form, but how does it do it? Here also, perhaps the story of action and effect will work. All the actions that a particular body has done from the beginning, get recorded on its soul in the form of a shadow of darkness. Meaning, the effect of those actions was received by it in the form of consciousness during its lifetime. But after death, it got recorded in its soul in the form of unconsciousness. Both consciousness and unconsciousness are relative to each other. In a living being, both of these are connected to each other. But God has absolute consciousness, because it is not dependent on any physical substance. The consciousness of a living being is dependent on its physical body. Hence, when its body gets destroyed, its consciousness also gets destroyed. However, consciousness is never destroyed, rather it remains encoded in his subtle body as unconsciousness. This means that his subtle body is made up of unconsciousness. However, this unconsciousness is as much as his consciousness used to be. All the data of his consciousness remains recorded in his unconsciousness. Perhaps this is the reason why he gets the fruits of his actions. Just as night becomes day and day becomes night, similarly the consciousness and unconsciousness of the soul keep on creating each other sequentially.
Now we go back to the mutual relationship between action and effect. The effect as consciousness in the soul is not unlimited like God. This effect in the soul is limited, hence the action or cause from it will also be limited. Because the effect in the soul without a body will be the opposite of the soul with a body, hence the action will be the opposite. The opposite does not mean that the opposite works will keep happening, but that those works will be in the imprint or subtle form. Therefore, whatever the soul with a body in the gross form thought, its consciousness increased from that. That consciousness will be recorded in the soul. With that recorded information, it will experience its thinking in its bodiless state. However, not the same experience as its living body used to have, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. This becomes the mind of its subtle body. The decisions that the living soul used to take while in the body, with the help of intelligence, also increased its consciousness. That too will be recorded in the soul. With that recorded information, it will experience its decision making after death. However, not the same experience as its living body used to have, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. This will be the intelligence of its subtle body. The egoistic feeling that the embodied soul used to experience, increased its consciousness. That consciousness will be recorded in his soul in a subtle form, that is, it will be recorded in the form of equivalent unconsciousness. With that recorded information, it will experience its egoistic feeling. However, not the same experience as its living body used to have, but in a subtle or waveless or unchangeable form. When there is no body, then waves cannot be formed. The consciousness that the embodied soul used to experience due to the work done by the organs of action, increased with it. Whatever it was, got recorded in the soul in a subtle form. From that recorded information, it will get the experience of its organs of action. However, not the same as its living body used to experience, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. The embodied soul, which experienced the work done by the sense organs, increased its consciousness with that. That consciousness will be recorded in the soul in a subtle form. From that recorded information, it will get the experience of its sense organs. However, not the same as its living body used to experience, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. The embodied soul, which experienced the five pranas (breaths) within itself, increased its consciousness. That consciousness will also be recorded in the soul in a subtle form. From that recorded information, it will get the experience of its pranas or breathing. However, not the same as its living body used to experience, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. In this way, the complete subtle body of the soul is formed. It is completely like its nearest gross body, because it has the greatest influence. Although the living soul has taken birth in countless species, therefore the soul experiences mainly its latest birth events in the form of its changeless and waveless dark subtle body even after death. Means It keeps experiencing its nearest body more. It does not feel that its body has been destroyed or has died. The only way to completely decode this subtle body is through Kundalini Yoga.
