Two bodies.

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur gives us an understanding of how a ” switch over ” or a revival is a long forgotten state of consciousness occurs .

To help us understand, he says when you take a meal , you gradually satisfy your hunger, and gradually, nutrition is added to the body, and gradually, a sense of satisfaction comes about .

The more you eat, the more we feel the benefits.

Similarly,  Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur says , in the beginnings of our spiritual life , we have two bodies , our old conditioned one , with influences of this life and previous ones , and a new spiritual body in development , or a revival of something given to us , that we discarded by our choice , since time immemorial,  means , we cannot trace the historical events that led us to our current situation.

So , the Thakur is informing us that the more we taste and practice our spiritual lives , the more the ” switch over ” takes place , the more we eat the greater the satisfaction.

We will find ourselves oscillating between the two energies , but by proper hearing and  chanting in the correct association and by causless mercy of all our acaryas and teachers , our progress is assured.
