94. THE SPIRITUALITY OF BRAHMANDA AND ITS DENIZENS

            144. The spirituality from Sunna, the top sphere of Brahmanda, down to the next sphere, viz, Trikuti, is of a very high order, so much so that it does not compare very unfavourably with the spirituality of the higher planes. From Trikuti downwards, however, the spirituality has lost its pure distinctive feature in consequence of admixture with subtle matter, viz, molecules, and is technically known, down from that sphere, viz, molecules, and is technically known, down from that sphere, as prana, which should not be confounded with vayu tattva (gaseous condition of matter). When the three currents, which originally started from Sunna (vide Article 93), proceeded onwards from the lower end of Bankal (the crooked tunnel), they separated into three subtle currents known as ira, pingla, and sushumma. The last occupies the middle position, while ira and pingla are respectively on the left and right sides. These three main currents are the channels or arteries through which spirituality, referred to above, is supplied to the lower portion of Brahmanda. Orbs, somewhat similar to those of the purely spiritual regions, were evolved by the three spiritual currents which emanated from Sunna. Three classes of orbs were, however, formed by them, in consequence of their having originated from three distinct sources. Two classes have the distinctive features of suns and moons stated previously (vide Article 89), while the third class consists of taras (planets), which should not be confounded with the stars we see, as the stars are themselves suns and moons. The third class possesses the distinctive features of planets.
