Every
human being, every Soul - the Jivãtmã - has an inner
flame of Divine Being as part of the Divine Soul - the Paramãtmã
- in the heart as all goodness in peace and harmony with Nature. This flame is
surrounded by five opposing effects due to Maya which is covering
it like a sheath of ignorance - called Upãdis. There
are five states of the mind. [Kshiptã, Mûdhã, Vikshiptã,
Ekãgratã and Nirudhã]. These are Anger, Confusion or
forgetfullness, Fear, Ego and Ignorance. [The first two are depicted in the
first layer here.] These are caused by some attachments of the Soul to the
world due to the Upãdis. They cause some bonding effects on the human life
and soul's journey through this world. They are determined by one persons guna
like Sattwika, Rajasika and Tamasika which every one has in various proportions.
They are affected by the individual desires and aspirations of a persons [Purushãrtha]
like Dharma (goodness), Artha (posession), Kãma (pleasure) and ultimate
Moksha ( liberation).
