Disembodied Souls and Microvita
–
Excerpt C
Gandharvas. I have already told you that gandharva is the name of a particular type of devayoni, and I have also told you that this type of devayoni is a particular type of positive microvita. The positive microvita which create an absorbing interest in music that flows in the world of ideation from the point of beginninglessness to the point of endlessness are called “gandharvas”. These gandharvas invigorate and enliven the mind and life of human beings with an absorbing interest in music. The people of olden times used to call these invisible musicians “gandharvas”. Blissful realizations about the world of ideation produced by the musical flow are called “gandharvaloka”.
