The Science of Spiritualism

Part-4b: The Mystery of Form of Worldly Soul

The worldly Jiva are largely divided into four categories from modification point of view. The concept views of human and sub-human beings have been defined in part-4a. The description of other two categories i.e. Infernal and Celestial beings is being presentd:
3. Infernal beings (Narki) - The existence of seven earths in lower loka is called hell and all the seven are below one after another. The last one is near the bottom of Lower Loka. The human beings living in the hells are called Infernal who are born by descent method (Upapad) and become young within couple of time. All the infernal beings have inauspicious protein body. They cannot come out of hell at any cost till they complete the designated age even the high ranking powerful celestial being is helpless for any aid to them. There is no alternative and they have to bear sorrows again and again. However they are sad with the following reasons:
• Hungriness is extreme but nothing to eat.
• Thirstiness is extreme but no water is available.
• Angriness is extreme for revengeful attitude.
• High foul smell from the earth which also gives shock.
• Fiendish celestial beings also harass them and get enjoy ness. They encourage infernal to fight each other by reminding the past events.
All the intensity defined above increase in lower and lower hells. The severity of weather conditions and height, age of infernal beings are on increase than each of previous hell (table-1)

Table-1: The age and height of infernal in different hells.

S.N.;Types of Infernal; Age minimum (sagars);Age maximum (sagars);Hight,ft

1 Infernal in 1st Infernal;10000years;1sagar;31.5
2. Infernal in 2nd hell;1sagar;3sagrs;62.5
3. Infernal in 3rd hell;3sagars;7sagars;125
4. Infernal in 4rth hell;7sagars;10sagars;250
5. Infernal in 5th hell;10sagars;17sagars;500
6. Infernal in 5th hell;17sagars;22sagars;1000
7. Infernal in 7th hell;22sagrs;33sagars; 2000
NOTE: After completion of prescribed age in respective hells, the jiva dies and takes a new birth some where else but certainly not in hell or heavenly places.
* Sagar is ancient scale of measurement of age which is very long.

4. Celestial beings: They are born without parents and birth takes place by descent (Upapad) method. The soul in the celestial life born from the celestial flower bed and accept the protein materials present there. The soul achieves adulthood right away. They are fully and partially matured. The celestial beings can be divided into four classes:
4.1 Mansion celestial beings: They reside in the upper and middle parts of 1st earth, Ratan Prabha, and also in the middle loka. They are of ten types as shown in table-2. Each type has two chief (Indra) and total are 20 chiefs. They also have 20 sub-chiefs. They are beautiful and soft in looking and type is recognized by the sign in their crown. The age, height, food etc are also given in table-2.

10.Guardians of the cardinal points youths;40;10000years;1.5palya;7.5days;7.5M; Hasti elephant
Where M denotes Maurat.

4.2 Wandering celestial beings: They also reside in lower and middle parts of earth Ratan Prabha, and also in middle loka such as on oceans, caves, islands, village, towns, forest, lanes, gardens, near river, furnal place, etc. They move in general from one place to another at their will. They also move on encouragement by others. They are 8 types shown in table-3. Their typical names are due to Gotra Karma. Accordingly the common man has drawn the meaning and the working actions. This is a wrong conception and generally they are seen to help people. Sometimes, they have revengeful attitude for a particular person due to remembrance of sad events of previous birth. They harass them and may kill them depending on their attitude. It has to be noted that they have protein body structure and is entirely different from human body (Gross body), so cannot be involved sexually with humans. They also do not eat meat, wine etc and get food once a while from gland in the mouth.

8.Goblin human;40;10000years;1sagar;Kandab

4.3 Stellar celestial beings: They live in the upper space of middle loka in their prescribed planets etc., moving and non moving. Living places are called Plane These can be divided broadly into five classes as shown in table-4 These planes shine and emit rays of different intensities and hence are called as stellar. These beings are recognized by the sign designated. As described (3) there are innumerable number of suns, moons and other stars existing in middle loka on which they reside. In the moon and sun planes, celestial beings have a family with chief.

S.N.Types of stellar celestial beings;Height,ft;Age,min.;Age,max.;Sign in crown
1.Sun celestial beings;28;1/8palya;+1palya;Sun
2.Moon celestial beings;28;1/8palya;+1palya;Moon

4.Constellation celestial beings;28;1/8palya;+1palya;Constellation
5.Scattered stars;28;1/8palya;+1palya;Star

4.4 Empyrean celestial beings (Vaimanic Dev): All reside in the upper loka which is classified in two categories- graded ones (Kalpopanna dev) and non-graded ones. Graded ones are confined up to 16th heaven and each heaven has one chief (King) and assistant chief where as non-graded has no such configuration and all are equal. The non-graded reside above the 16th heaven. All the planes, place of living, are very beautiful and have temples, Kalpa tree, city, garden, forest, lake and many more. A comparison of heavenly celestial beings is shown in table-9. It can be noted that an increase in heaven number means a decrease in height and an increase in age. But power of higher and higher rank of celestial beings increases. Graded ones can be divided in to 10 classes:
• Each heaven has one chief known as king (Indra) who posses many power and control other celestial beings under him. He has a kingdom like ours.
• Ministers: To help the king and advise. Nos. are 33.
• Body guards: They guard the king and this is just for show.
• Police: Such as Kotwal who maintain the system.
• Army: There are seven kind of army- 1.move on foot, 2. form into horse, 3. form into Ruth, 4. form into elephant, 5. form as musician, 6. form into ox, 7. form as dancer. The army celestial beings have to form the required shape, if needed by King. They all are for show purpose.
• People: They are as a common public.
• Conveyance: They are for the conveyance of public.
Mansion, wandering, stellar celestial beings also have the above configuration except the police and ministers.

Non-graded ones reside above the 16th heaven known as Divine heaven and they are named as Gravayak, Anudisha, Anuttar.
Pure souls reside above the divine heaven i.e. the last earth Known as Sidh Shila, aplace for Moksa. Here they live without body.

NOTE: The power of movement, age, happiness, influence, Avadhi knowledge etc of celestial beings residing in upper loka increase in proportional to their rank where as the movement, height, worldly things, proud ness etc decrease. The females are born in 1st and 2nd heavens only from where the high ranking beings transport their respective female beings just after the birth. They have an age 55 palya
4.5 Sexuality among celestial beings: The wandering, stellar, Mansion and Empearian of 1st & 2nd heavens celestial beings indulge in sexual relation due sentient desire but no ejection of sperm occurs. Empyreans of 3rd & 4rth heaven full fill their sexual desire by touching each other. The empyrean of 5th to 8th heaven full fills their desire by seeing each other. The desire of 9th to 12th heaven beings meet by hearing loving songs. The desire of empyrean of 13th to 16th heaven gets over on remembrance.
4.5.1 Above these heavens, such desire does not arise. Infact there is no female celestial beings. Each celestial being is Ahmindra and all are equal in status and are more happier than the king Indra in divine happiness.
4.5.2 Wandering, stellar, Mansion celestial beings can go up to 2nd heaven with the help of empyrean beings.
4.5.3 The structural system between the human and celestial beings differs greatly and they cannot establish any kind of relations. A comparison is shown in table-5.

5.0 We have seen the difference between human and celestial beings. Therefore we must understand the type of bodily formation.
5.0.1 Physical body: The body of human & sub-human beings is of gross body formation This type body consists of flash, bones, blood, sperm etc and is born either by womb or by agglutinating system.
5.0.2 Protean body (Vaikriyak body): It is a special fine body formation, is called protean body. The body has ability to form any shape and can be made into pieces and these join together like mercury. The celestial and infernal beings posses this kind of body which no flash, bones, sperm, blood etc. They are born by descent system.

Table-5: A comparison between celestial and human beings

S.N.;ATTRIBUTS; CELESTIAL BEINGS; HUMAN BEINGS
1.Born; By descent, without parents; By womb, through parents
2.Sexual relationship;Like human beings for wondering, stellar, maison & empyrean of 1st & 2nd heavens. No ejection of sperm; Ejection of sperm takes place
3.Bodily difference;Fluid body (no flash, bones, sperm, blood etc); Physical body consisting of flash, bones, blood, sperm etc.
4.Knowledge; Past, present, future of visible things varied at different level; Only present but all can be achieved to infinite level
5.Form; Can make any form; Present form but can be created.
6.Movement; Can fly in specified areas at very high speed; Can not fly but can be obtained & movement is within 2 / ½ Islands
7.Death; Death occurs at prescribed time; Any time.
8.Disease:Disease less; Any kind
9.;Sadness; No; Yes
10.;Working;No work for livelihood; Has to work for livelihood.
11.;Breathing;Once in a while depending on classification and type; Frequently.
12.;Diet; Once in a while, very little depending on classification; No control but can be controlled
13.;Power; Enormous depending on classification; Normal but can be created
14.;Upgrading ability; Cannot upgrade from existing level & for achieving they have to take human birth;They can rise to level of Moksa.

6.0 Population of different jives: The souls are infinite in the universe. There are various kinds of jivas whose population in each category is constant. It neither increases nor decreases. Table-6 shows the order of population broadly classified. The human beings are curious in these numbers particular have interest in population of celestial beings. However the population of all type human beings within 2 & ½ Islands is 29 count numbers for which there is no scale to count. This figure always remains constant. If one dies another birth takes place at the same time. One may think that the population on this earth is increasing. To meet the constant population it is obvious that it is decreasing on some areas with in 2& ½ Islands. It will surprise to readers that despite such a high population of humans is lowest in all the categories of jivas. Here we should not have any doubt about figures as it was all told by Omniscient Gods. The next higher population of jivas is of infernal population which reduces more and more in lower hells. The population of celestial beings is innumerable times greater than infernal. Therefore it is not difficult to get a seat in heavenly abode. Locantic celestial beings are lowest in population. The next higher figure is of empyrean celestial. The highest celestial beings lie in category of stellar beings. The next populated jivas are in the class of sub-humans which is innumerable times greater than celestial beings. Sidh Bhagwans are innumerable times greater than the sub-humans. Their population ever increases. Lowest form (Nigod) jivas are infinite.

Table-6: The population of different kind of Jivas in the universe.

S.N.; Kinds of Jivas; Population
1.;Total Human beings, in 2&1/2 Islands; 79228162514294337593543950336 (say A)
2.;InfernalPopulation in1st hell >2>3>4>5>6>7; A x innumerable nos. (say B)
3.;Total celestial beings;B x innumerable nos. (say C)
4.;2 to 5 sensed sub-humans; C x innumerable nos. (say G)
5.;Earth, water, fire, air, solitary bodies jivas;G x innumerable nos. (say H)
6.;Sidh soul; H x innumerable nos. (say I)
7.;Lowest form of Jivas; I x infinite

Jivas are infinite and their various categories are described in brief. All reside in their respective places through out the universe. The Sidh Gods are also infinite and all had the same views about the reality of nature.
