In tandem with chart #275, here, the five sheaths get taken apart and assigned many of their respective aspects. This benefits the sincere aspirant who intuitively knows that the Atman is beyond all five sheaths, while also allowing this intrepid soul to perceive what each covering contains that can or will either impede him/her along the spiritual path, or assist in reaching the Ultimate Goal of human existence.

Nirguna & Saguna Brahman #134
God with form, and God without form, is a fascinating subject. Along with bondage and liberation, it is also one of the subtlest dualities to meditate upon. Few beings spend any time concentrating of formlessness; there are just too many allurements in the realms of name and form that are more attracting. Such beings would rather “eat sugar than be sugar,” as the philosophical term states. But the knowers of formless Reality respond that these souls do not know the Bliss of being sugar. Whatever the case may be, pondering Reality beyond attributes (gunas) while experiencing that selfsame Reality with attributes explains the bliss of the realized soul. From Brahman, to the Trinity, to the realms of higher and lowers deities, and all the way out to the physical universe, the Light of Divine Awareness shines. It is all a matter of how many or how few coverings are in the way of the seer of Truth.
Akasha — The Five Atmospheres #79
Similar in content and consideration to the principle of time, the principle of space gets treated in a unique way in Indian Cosmology as well. To say the word “akasha” within hearing of India and its religious and philosophical circles is to become swiftly informed as to the various levels of ether that exist within the human mind and soul. Knowing about an ether for every cross-section of living beings, in addition to their
corresponding realms or worlds, i.e., akashas, releases the embodied soul from the limited thinking that the physical universe alone exists, thereby directing it to the “Kingdoms of Heaven within.” In India, to study the subject of space is to find all the hiding places where the transmigrating soul sports, or hides, allowing for the revelation of the timeless, deathless Soul that underlies all such activity.
The Stainless Cause of the Universe #74
India’s cosmology is ancient and thorough in its depth and its scope. It is also eternal, since it sites principles that the Divine Being, in all its many aspects, utilizes to project, sustain, and dissolve the many realms of name and form that exist in time and space. Though the Divine Being is beyond causality, is the Causeless Cause, Its amazing Mind, the Mahat, or Hiranyagarbha, facilitates the appearance of countless worlds peopled by an infinite amount of living beings, all under the auspice of the Mahashakti, the Divine Feminine Power. Coming to know of this trickle-down process, from the highest and deepest Escalon on out to the gross, physical plane of existence, the soul very soon reaches for and attains the highest Wisdom that solves all problems, settles all issues, and even puts death to death.
The Meaning of Maya, & A Subtler Look at Panchakarana #108
In this age, Swami Vivekananda has brought crystalline clarity to the subject of Maya and what it means. It is five fold, i.e., name, form, time, space, and causality. Other forms of five pepper its inner and outer regions as well, and if they are studied and known, this esoteric knowledge will carry the transmigrating soul to new levels of spiritual awakening. The Mother of Maya, Mahamaya, will become pleased with the devotee who strives to pierce through the veils of nescience and arrive blissfully at the farthest shores of nondual Awareness.
