The fact is that we, individual soul, that is the real fact. And that individual soul is the seed, and upon that seed, this body has developed.
According to our Vedic understanding, the body develops on the seed. This is very practical. Why we have got different bodies, different types of bodies? Because the condition of the seed is different. The seed is the spirit soul, and by material contact it is covered by finer body—intelligence, mind and ego. And according to the quality of that ego, we develop different kinds of this material gross body.
Therefore somebody has developed the body in the modes of goodness . . . because material nature is divided into three qualities: goodness, passion and ignorance. Somebody has developed body in the modes of passion. Somebody has developed body in the modes of ignorance. But the root is the spirit soul. And the finer cover is desire - ego, intelligence, mind. And the gross cover is this body.
