According to the enlightened Vedantic authors the body of principle is only a means. In the path of spiritual development. It is meaningless to examine the nature of the body. But practically speaking the path by which we have to travel to reach the ultimate god is full of thorns (hardships). We must remember this. Therefore it is necessary for enlightenment to understand what the body (deha) is how it is created or born, what is its nature and duties (Dharma) and in what way it is related to the soul. It is needed for enlightenment. It is the age-old truth that the body is important and deserves first priority as it is the device of dharma (performing duties). On the other hand the truth told in Vedanta that the body is the product of "Maya" (the wordly thing in the fellocy that makes the worlds appear to be a reality) it is never owned (i.e. does not belong to the soul who is reflection of God). Though every soul is without a beginning and is inexpressible, as long as it is bound to the world by Shakti (the force creating the fallacy of the world as the truth) its self-consciousness of the body. In fact the purest whole consciousness is mode impure and split and divided and is expressed in the weaker form of dependent on the cycle of action and the result. It is because of the undue attachment to the body. That is why the soul’s fallacious consciousness of being the body remains. In the fallacy of the visible world it is impossible to be aware of the distinct impossible nature of the distinct nature of soul and the body, what the common people understand by the word body is scientifically only a variation of the worldly body. After the union of male. ‘Semen’ (sperm) and female egg, when the embryo is planted in the worm it should be considered as the seed (beginning) of body. This seed is nutured by the outside sources and in time gets expressed in active body form. Unless man achieved a state of steady semen or upward movement of semen (veerya) through (Spiritual) development of achieved through observance of Brahmacharya (non indulgence in carnal desires, the natural tendency of semen is down wards, without the proper control over carnal desires (desire for sexual gratification) the semen through agitation moves downwards (towards sexual activity) only those worshipers who have through observance of ‘Yama’ (rules of behaviour) and sanyam (control) made this naturally downward flow of veerya (semen) and Raja (female libido) steady can progress on the pilgrims path of enlightenment.

In the Vedic period after the achievement of control over sexual desires the God of sex Kama is called upon in the presence of holy fire (agni) so that one may enter family life (Grihastashrama) to continue the family.

In the 184th sookta (a group of couplets) of Rigveda it is said that ‘Lord Vishnu will make a woman Tvashta will make her capable of bearing child, Prajapati will give the unborn child strength, Brahmadeo (the creator) will make the woman able to keep the embryo in the womb. This is about the normal child’s birth.

In Vedic Age there are evidences of some persons not being born through the vagina in normal way, For instance seta was born without a womb. Similarly there are many gods and goddesses who were born in some supernatural manner. Because of the effect of pure intention, cells were attracted to in spirit predecided by lord Brahma, and a body appeared. There are many such incidents mentioned in our ancient scriptures. It won’t be improper to say that such a body is born by coming together of cells due to the will of God.

In short normal body is born as a result of the down ward flow of energy (or semen) and hence is impure or unholy by nature. Only due to the effect of penance (sadhana) this body born out of sexual union can be purified. There is no other way of purifying it.

The physical body is known as "annamaya Kosh’ (the level of existence which needs food for substance) In its structure the five elements the earth, the water, the fire, the air and the space are used. Without the body the soul’s desires to do or to take action or experience the pleasure or pains is useless. In short the soul along with the body only has the right to do action or perform "Karma’ And by its nature it experiences pleasure or pain.

The ability to perform deed (Karma) and the ability to experience give rise to pride. Just as a deed is related to reason or as the motive or purpose is connected with the result, the abilities to perform deeds (Karma) and experience together nuture and make the pride stronger. :I (i.e. the body) am not the doer but only a means of performing deeds (Karma)

This kind of attitude shatters the pride over the physical body. The man without pride becomes completely disinterested in the result of deed (Karma) Still the body has to perform the deeds and experience the positive or negative results which is unavoidable. The root cause for the pride of the body is the basic ignorance or unawareness and fallacy about the physical body.

Physical body is known as the one who has to undergo experiences (pleasant or unpleasant) it is because residing in body, the soul can only go through pleasant or unpleasant experiences as a result of his deeds in his previous lives. The soul has to go through various stages (of evolution). Such as the living one, the unmoving existence, born from seeds (plant life) born from sweat (insect life) born from eggs (bird life) and at last born from the womb (animal life). Reaching the highest order of life the soul is born as a human beings. Until the soul is not aware of the feeling of pride (the I as the doer) it does not get its right to perform deeds (karma) The moving force of (Karma) is realty strange/ With the development of pride, unlimited desires are born, No one except the worshippers with the subtle vision can understand his strange nature of human body. The free energy is inexpressible and hence can not be subject to impulse. The development of life, mind and intellect is based on this fundamental principle. When the life is united with the divine truth in mystic spiritual union which can be achieved through penance, the experience of natural pure joy and its healthy expression. When the skill is sixteen art forms is born the soul with its divine spark achieves its highly respectable position on the lap of the almighty who is perfect spiritual wisdom and completeness.

At the root of the movement of physical body, there is the knowledge (awareness) and the strength of action. The organs of senses are the extension of the power of knowledge and organs of actions are manifestation of the strength to act. In the heart both the desires exist in the form of sources of motivation. The divine shining power give life to the body in subtle nerves with the help of the element of air. All the organs are in fact are the divine shining power. According to Vedanta, this the ‘ Linga- deha’( the subtle body). This divine energy, in spite of being a unified one it seems separate in the form of physical body. Just as fire exists in every inch of piece of a branch organs also exist in all parts of the whole body. The organs can be activated through rubbing and can be used according to our will.

According to sankhya philosophy, the linga (subtle) body has seventeen or eighteen organs. According to Vendata the prana (or life) consists of three layers. The heart is inside flame of subtle life is made unclean and soiled by effects of thoughts and action lust and desire for enjoyment gives birth to indulgence and that results stigma. This is called lust. After analyzing we notice on one side the rule of the heart and the attractive objects of desire in subtle forms, on the order due to the effect of attachment the attraction to the object of desire are born. The heart( linner mind) becomes full of carnal desires, pure by its nature the mirror of the heart( inner mind) becomes soiled. After death, the subtle body leaves the physical body. But all the effect and subtle ghosts (in groups )accompany the subtle body. Then the subtle body. Then subtle body(soul) becomes a pind (another form of existence) creating to it, the soul is born in its next life. The only solution is self awareness . There is no other remedy expect this, for purifying the soul properly. By understanding the reality of the pride regarding the body. We realize that the soul exists as a distinct eternal phenomenon. This kind of self realization that the awareness of body not being our soul(our true identity), the effect of deeds resulting in fate in our life is burnt down. If we can male our souls living brightly shining flame (of our linga or subtle external existence) then our awareness will permanently become one with the cosmic eternal divine life.

In this state the soul with the help of its self becomes one (with God) and experiences the ultimate spiritual bliss. According to Beahmajan valli the existence of body (Deha) is the result of Maya (the fallacy that makes the visible world seem to be true). But ‘I’ (my true identity) am externally unchangeable divine from which it has its own light.

The paper state of being one with the divine cannot be achieved without our awareness, being full of peace. This state of awareness can only be achieved when of worship per having physical body not a single even subtle through is allowed to enter his mind. The mind is only full of the senses of ‘ I am that divine eternal unchangeable phenomenon (God). If there is no other thought except that of Lord shrikrishna in the mind like saint meera, chaitanya Mahaprabhu, soordas, there is no possibility of mind being separated from the Krishna consciousness. The shape which permanently becomes the perfect reflection of Krishna . This is the state of perfect emancipation the freedom of through identification. The consciousness is basically very pure and identifies with god by following him. The Soul worshiping Lord Krishana becomes one with Lord Krishana. This is known as 'Siddhi'( achievement) emancipation of the soul ,thought identification.

The Penance of the subtle body(Linga) is like a flame. It is like, " I am the light of which I am the source."' This is called ' Salokya mukti' becoming one with the divine light of the deity you worship.

After the awareness of the light whose source is inner self comes the higher state of awareness where the appearance of the self is made brighter being one with the light form the deity worshiped. Then the soul receives spiritual power and wealth and the soul becoming one with God receives the right to possess his power. This receiving of power is the higher state of Srashtirmukti, which takes the worshipper nearer to God. In this state there is not more nearness to God but as there is a sense of constant mood in this state. The seven ' Yogas' of the worshiped deity result in the experience of spiritual bliss. This is the mood of identification with the God, the ultimate achievement.

Many times the worship per may not get an entry into the realm of the Almighty's power even after achieving identification with the expressible, visible form of deity. The ultimate spiritual emancipation lies in getting rid of the separate awareness of the subtle only after the grace of God is achieved and the soul is completely surrendered( ultimate self -surrendered the final perfect state is there. The physical body which is full of ignorance is the root cause of the the subtle body soul. As long as the body which is the root cause is not destroyed there can be no achievement of the final state of oneness with the God.

In spite of changing conditions in the country the changing modern times and the changes in Vedic civilization through the ages due to there inevitable effects, the one Brahmatatva which is at its is at its center remains external and secret. The great sages through of this kind of spiritual emancipation is ultimate consciousness of being with the Almighty. The philosophers described the one and one one God in different Ways .

The support of physical body is essential for the soul. That is why Jadguru Shankarachrya says in his book""vivekchudamani", " You may discuss the spiritual science day and night. You may perform pooja(worship) perform your duties ( Karma) tell the beads of your rosary surrender yourself in devotion, you will never achieve emancipation of the soul without self knowledge.

If we want to be independent and lead emancipated free life happily we must accept the principles of Vedanta mentally, and put then into our thoughts practice and in our life. In fact there is no such thing as fate. Inside us ( our body) there is the center of supernatural spiritual powers. You must try to have their support in your daily life. For the spiritual development of human beings, the Vedic scholars have prescribed three ways of knowledge ( of self/ soul) way of 'Karma'( performing duties with spiritual detachment and the way of worship( surrendering yourself in devotion). The way of spiritual self knowledge( Jnan marg) is the most complex and can be achieved through great efforts and perseverance. In Getta Bhagwan has call this difficult path as difficult as air(vayu) difficult to control. For success in this way , one has to follow the eight steps of Yoga (control) viz 'Yama', 'Niyama'( rules for controlling behavior and action) Asana (Yogic postures) Pranayama ( special breathing exercise ) pratyahar, sharana (balanced state) and Dhyana( meditation) Samadhi (deep meditation) only a few person of great patience can progress through these stages.

Bhagawan( Lord Krishna) has stressed the way of Kama( performing duties with spiritual detachment) Lord Krishna stresses the importance since detached Karma and one's Skill in such a Karma( duties). All the vedic karmas ( such as Yajan) as well as the good deeds performed for the welfare of the welfare of the world, are categorized as Karma Yajna. Through Yajna the deities are pleased and they create things which please and satisfy senses. For the sake of Karmyog there must be unlimited purification of the heart and unbroken faith in the ultimate welfare of the humanity. At the root of all progress in the world there is education . If education is based on the awareness of real soul, principle divine personality and the development of the sleeping potential powers of the inner self which are based on the truth .

The present education is unfortunately is being conducted on the mistaken principles. The so called present day knowledge is based on only on worldly physical principles. The ancient Vedic science and eternal principles of Vedanta are being neglected . The ability of individual to perform great deeds is clothed by pride or conceit. In the education system today, only unsuccessful attempts are made to educate the outward clothes aspects of personality are being taken are of . Aren't the scholar aware that all true education in modern world aims at the development of the true inner self?. The inner aspect of personality are considered to be more important.

In real personality development there are important aspects like independent personal experience, the sensitivity to love the universe , as well as the strong desire for the welfare of all which gives on the will to act. Therefore it would be perfectly true to state that vedantic philosophy showing the only path of true development is the greatest blessing of God. These philosophical principles of Vedanta are like Kalpavriksha . Mythological trees which fulfill all wishes on the blank of the river Karma (deeds in life). This the greatest gift of which gives us spiritual emancipation. Such great men emancipated from the welfare of life, work only for the welfare of people being free from any personal selfish motives, love or hatred or pride. Their behavior are considered role models (ideals) to be followed by the word . Being completely free from fear, living on a higher plane beyond the body even their physical actions are more wonderful, greatly holy and more divine that the common man.

According to Indian philosophers the purpose of Vedanata is to put an end to sorrows. Every aspect of this physical world gives us pain or sorrow. Even pleasant aspect are short lived. The physical body and the subtle body of man is constantly under attack from sorrow and constantly under attack form sorrows and pain, mental and physical diseases and misfortunes . In order to win over all these aspect the knowledge or awareness of the true inner self, is necessary. That spiritual knowledge which gives us the subtle spiritual in sight to understand birth or death. Because of the effect of the spiritual knowledge( awareness) the cultured man can remain calm, steady and unaffected( disinterested) in the hardest and the most painful circumstances he can think of all sorrows as part of the inevitable fate and he does not allow any sorrow or painful condition to make him lose his balance attitude.

As he continues to make progress in the spiritual awareness he experiences that his inner self, his soul, is eternal and exists since ancient times and his body made of flesh, bones and skin is temporary, prone to death and hence unreal. He lives in peace permanently with this thought. It is the emancipated condition of human being(who lives in the form of a body)

I am life itself, I am full of peace being beyond the physical world. I am eternal joy or happiness . I am unchanged and unchangeable.

In real personality development there are important aspects like independent personal experience, the sensitivity to love the universe , as well as the strong desire for the welfare of all which gives on the will to act. Therefore it would be perfectly true to state that vedantic philosophy showing the only path of true development is the greatest blessing of God. These philosophical principles of Vedanta are like Kalpavriksha . Mythological trees which fulfill all wishes on the blank of the river Karma (deeds in life). This the greatest gift of which gives us spiritual emancipation. Such great men emancipated from the welfare of life, work only for the welfare of people being free from any personal selfish motives, love or hatred or pride. Their behavior are considered role models (ideals) to be followed by the word . Being completely free from fear, living on a higher plane beyond the body even their physical actions are more wonderful, greatly holy and more divine that the common man.

According to Indian philosophers the purpose of Vedanata is to put an end to sorrows. Every aspect of this physical world gives us pain or sorrow. Even pleasant aspect are short lived. The physical body and the subtle body of man is constantly under attack from sorrow and constantly under attack form sorrows and pain, mental and physical diseases and misfortunes . In order to win over all these aspect the knowledge or awareness of the true inner self, is necessary. That spiritual knowledge which gives us the subtle spiritual in sight to understand birth or death. Because of the effect of the spiritual knowledge( awareness) the cultured man can remain calm, steady and unaffected( disinterested) in the hardest and the most painful circumstances he can think of all sorrows as part of the inevitable fate and he does not allow any sorrow or painful condition to make him lose his balance attitude.

As he continues to make progress in the spiritual awareness he experiences that his inner self, his soul, is eternal and exists since ancient times and his body made of flesh, bones and skin is temporary, prone to death and hence unreal. He lives in peace permanently with this thought. It is the emancipated condition of human being(who lives in the form of a body)

I am life itself, I am full of peace being beyond the physical world. I am eternal joy or happiness . I am unchanged and unchangeable.
