Atma

Atma is the Self,
made of Prana, Mana and Vak:
Motion, Consciousness, and mater.

Intellect sheaths Atma;
Mind sheaths Intellect;
Senses sheath Mind;
Body sheaths Senses;
Aura sheaths Body.

Thus,
Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atherwa sum up.

Body includes brain.
Brain includes intellect,
And Consciousness.
So Body and Energy
Are the two parts
That join to make Life.

Thus,
Science approves of.

We deny not both statements,
one by subconscious mind
and the other by conscious mind.

That is why
Religion and Science coexist.
