Storytime— before Kaya Kalpa

Imagine you are the parent of five children. Your five bodies. They are called Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya.

And they are all beautiful, they all need the attention from you that children need from their parents. And, in another way, they are parts of you. You are parts of them, they live within you and you within them.

And like a good parent, you try to give them all the attention they need. At best, if we divide one hundred percent by five, we get twenty. So, each child, each body, gets an estimated amount of twenty percent of your attention in every moment you are. (depending on the context of course)

So let’s assume, the evening has come and you decide to sit on the couch with your children and cuddle before going to bed, have a cup of tea and a story time.

The first three attending the event at once, are Anna-, Prana-, and Manomaya. They have been waiting for this all day long. And now you sit and cuddle with them and they seem not to ever be able to stop talking.

Annamaya has a pain here and a tense feeling there. You give it a soft massage.

Pranamaya is talkative but exhausted and you softly stroke over its skin and cover it with a warm blanket.

Manomaya is interpreting and commenting very consciously what the others are saying. “This happened because of this…” and it adds phrases such as “if this would not then that could have” or uses “right” and “wrong” and other beautiful polarities to its words.

You nod and smile. And you cuddle them all.

Meanwhile, Vijnanamaya is in its room, sitting on the floor, its back leaned on the heating. It smiles and good vibes are floating around it. It is dreaming away, as always. Vijnanamaya is different from the others, always happy, always healthy, never in need of attention and yet, IF it comes out of its room, the others become still for some moments. And calm down. But you cannot force it to show and talk to you. Yet, you need to be aware still, give it the twenty percent needed and at the same time, you do not force it to talk to you. Because you know: it only appears, when it does, and mostly exactly when needed.

So, you still sit and cuddle with the three Anna-, Prana- and Manomaya. By now, they have expressed their issues and slowly start calming down. This moment Vijnanamaya appears and smiles. “You wonna hear about the most beautiful of all worlds, where no pain, nor exhaustion or fear exist?” It asks smiling, “Then listen carefully.” And then, as if by miracle, you all become still and listen and dream away. Vijnanamaya carries you away into scents, sounds, images and emotions of all kinds of beauty. The three others start relaxing on your lap and Vijnanamaya joins them while it speaks.

While you dream away, you become aware of your fifth child, that has been with you at all times tonight. Anandamaya. It is very shy, and at the same time very present. You can tell that it is around, whenever you enjoy being you. It was holding the space all day long. Being there and being almost intangible. Being everywhere. Hardly to recognize and almost invisible and yet, it was holding the space at all times. Filling the room with light, with peace and with love.

This moment, it is very close to you and its siblings. Right on your lap with the others. Spending love. And you breathe its beauty in and pass this loving sensation on to all of your five children, the five bodies you are.

Then you fall asleep on the couch.

When you wake up, you are all by yourself, the five children are quietly relaxing within your appearance as the human being you are.

Refreshed and happy, you get up to join life in its usual business.
