Atma Bodha, Verse 31: The three bodies (gross, subtle, causal) are merely observable phenomena (dṛśyam) as temporary as bubbles in the ocean. True identity transcends these sheaths – one is the pure, limitless Brahman (nirmalam). When self-knowledge is gained, all questions about the five koshas become irrelevant, as one recognizes their distinction from these temporary instruments of expression.
Atma Bodha, Verse 32: Being distinct from the body, one is free from the six stages of physical existence – birth, growth, maturity, decline, and death. The wise understand that bodily changes and sensory decline (like diminished taste, vision, hearing) belong to the body-mind complex, not to the Self. This knowledge doesn't prevent physical changes but reveals one's true nature as unaffected by them.
