{FN43-3} Adjective of MANTRA, chanted seed-sounds discharged by
the mental gun of concentration. The PURANAS (ancient SHASTRAS or
treatises) describe these MANTRIC wars between DEVAS and ASURAS
(gods and demons). An ASURA once tried to slay a DEVA with a potent
chant. But due to mispronunciation the mental bomb acted as a
boomerang and killed the demon.
{FN43-4} Examples of such powers are not wanting even on earth, as
in the case of Helen Keller and other rare beings.
{FN43-5} Lord Buddha was once asked why a man should love all
persons equally. "Because," the great teacher replied, "in the
very numerous and varied lifespans of each man, every other being
has at one time or another been dear to him."
{FN43-6} The eight elemental qualities which enter into all created
life, from atom to man, are earth, water, fire, air, ether, motion,
mind, and individuality. (BHAGAVAD GITA: VII:4.)
{FN43-7} Body signifies any soul-encasement, whether gross or
subtle. The three bodies are cages for the Bird of Paradise.
{FN43-8} Even as Babaji helped Lahiri Mahasaya to rid himself of a
subconscious desire from some past life for a palace, as described
in chapter 34.
{FN43-9} "And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither
will the eagles be gathered together."-LUKE 17:37. Wherever the
soul is encased in the physical body or in the astral body or in
the causal body, there the eagles of desires-which prey on human
sense weaknesses, or on astral and causal attachments-will also
gather to keep the soul a prisoner.
