The living being
In Bhagavad-gita 7.4-5 which was sung more than 5000 years ago by Şri Krişna, the Transcendental Lord, the original form of the Absolute Truth it is said:
āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ / khaḿ
mano buddhir eva ca
ahańkāra itīyaḿ me / bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā
This my material energy has eight divisions, as follows - itīyaḿ me bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā
earth, water, fire, air, space - bhumir apa anala vayu kham
mind, intelligence and of course the false ego - mano buddhir eva ca ahańkāra
Here are presented:
- the gross body, made of five types of material elements: earth, water, fire, air and space
- the subtle body, made of three types of material elements: mind, intelligence and false ego
apareyam
itas tv anyāḿ / prakṛtiḿ viddhi me parām
jīva-bhūtāḿ mahā-bāho / yayedaḿ dhāryate jagat
Oh, mighty one (Arjuna), you should know that besides this - mahā-bāho viddhi itas tv
inferior
energy, there is my another one which is superior - apareyam prakṛtiḿ
anyāḿ parām
the living beings to whom I gave this univers - jiva bhutam yayedaḿ dhāryate jagat
This energy which is superior to the material energy is called spiritual energy.
So the nature of the living beings is superior to their material body, which is material.
According to the transcendental knowledge is the Resurection of the Deaths from their graves
as described in the Bible - "Revelation of John" a forgery.
