Aum.<br><br>BH\u0100SHYA<br>The material world is where we have our experiences, man\u00adufacture karma and fulfill the desires and duties of life in a physical body. It is in the Bh\u016bloka that consciousness is limit\u00aded, that awareness of the other two worlds is not always remembered. It is the external plane, made of gross matter, which is really just energy. The world is re\u00admarkable in its unending variety and en\u00adthral\u00adling novelty. Mystics call it the unfoldment of prak\u1e5biti, primal nature, and liken it to a bub\u00adble on the ocean\u2019s surface. It arises, lives and bursts to return to the source. This phy\u00adsical world, though necessary to our evo\u00adlu\u00adtion, is the em\u00adbodiment of im\u00adpermanence, of constant change. Thus, we take care not to become overly at\u00adtached to it. It is mystically subjective, not ob\u00adjective. It is dense but not sol\u00adid. It is sentient, even sacred. It is rocks and rainbows, liquid, gas and conflagration, all held in a setting of space. The Vedas affirm, \u201cThe knower, the author of time, the possessor of qualities and all knowledge, it is He who envelopes the universe. Controlled by Him, this work of creation unfolds itself\u2014that which is re\u00adgarded as earth, water, fire, air and ether.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Nature of the Physical Plane? \u015aLOKA 42The physical plane, or Bh\u016bloka, is the world of gross or material substance in which phenomena are perceived by the five senses.
