y not said: “You saw your own physical body AND that of YOUR gandhabba (manomaya kaya)?”
Does your reply to the effect that “…was able to see how the manomaya kaya in my body looks” then mean: you were seeing both your physical body AND the manomakaya from above. Is that how it was? Because in that case, the question arises: if you were seeing both from above, then who was doing the seeing?
I think there is slight confusion here in what was meant and how I’ve explained and excuse me for this confusion.
Part 1: While in Bodhgaya – Here, I could see the manomaya kaya of everyone in Jhana. After that, I was able to understand how my inner body or gandhabba would looks. I was not out of body at this time, but since the jhana was so strong was able to understand or visualise on how mine would be.
Part 2: To question of Lal on coming out of body – I had this experience in 1995 when the manomaya kaya was out and it did seem to be very light and in a happy state. Could see the body lying there from above and after that, was in a very calm place from where I did not wanted to return. Then suddenly felt was thrown into something and I fell down from my bed and was perplexed on what happened.
Reading through material in internet in the year 2000, understood that it is called as “Out of Body experience”
Hope I could clarify on this one and feel free to ask me further questions.
