Body, Soul, Mind and Knowledge | Bolon Kaiji

 

Spiritual Scientist Mahadhiman Bolon Kaiji

Introduction

Since the awakening of human knowledge, people have been researching the body and soul in order to understand their nature. Ancient studies focused on questions such as: What is the body? What is it made of? What is the soul? How does the soul reside within the body? And how can one attain knowledge of the soul?

In the book Atmatattvabhed (Part Two), authored by the 21st-century reformer, researcher, writer, one of the greatest spiritual philosophers and spiritual scientists, Mahadhiman Bolon Kaiji, the four fundamental components of Mysticism, Sufism, Spiritualism, Self-Realization, Spirituality, Soul Philosophy, and Body Philosophy are identified as:

1. Body

2. Soul

3. Mind

4. Knowledge

1. Body

By body, we mean the human body. The human body is an extremely complex and remarkable system. It originates through birth from the mother's womb.

For example:

• A dead body possesses neither soul, mind, nor knowledge.

• A sleeping person possesses body and soul.

• A child possesses body, soul, and mind, but lacks knowledge.

• An adult possesses body, soul, mind, and knowledge.

Therefore, a body without a soul is equivalent to a lifeless corpse. Body, soul, and mind together constitute a child, while body, soul, mind, and knowledge together constitute a mature human being.
