Now, while on planet earth, the human body is there for man himself, to take possession of himself. Whereas in the past human bodies were still inhabited by gods, man is now left to himself and has the free choice to become a descending or ascending being. Man himself becomes the battleground of ascending and descending beings. This battlefield is called Kshetra field in Indian esotericism, and this battle is symbolically expressed in truth in the Bhagavad Gita. Now man begins his activity. His 'I', that is, he himself has come into being. He owes his astral body to the Lunar Pitris, the etheric body to the Agnishvattas, the physical body to the Asuras. ![91-13](images/91-13.webp)","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.
