Hari Om!
Continuing the analysis of what is not Ātmā in order to understand the Ātmā, Bhagavān Adi Shankaracharya ji describes kārana shariram and the three states of experience.
Swami Aparajitanandaji not only beautifully explains these concepts, he also goes on to explain the pancha prānas which are not defined in this text.
