When the fluctuations of mind are stilled, our true nature is revealed.  We have then enough clarity to perceive the Self beyond the mind.

What is Pancha Kosha Theory?

Our true nature is beginning less, endless, non-dual, unbounded, ever free, pure, aware, Supreme Bliss. Due to ignorance known as Maya (Avidya), we pass through cycles of births and deaths

Elegant illustration of the Pancha Kosha — the five sheaths of human existence in Advaita Vedanta. The diagram shows five nested oval layers from outer to inner: AnnaMaya Kosha (physical), PranaMaya Kosha (vital), ManoMaya Kosha (mental), VijnaMaya Kosha (intellectual), and AnandaMaya Kosha (bliss), symbolizing the journey inward to the Self, the Sat–Chit–Ānanda consciousness.
