What Is the Causal Body? Understanding the Subconscious as the Seed of Next Birth

Question

You mentioned that there are three kinds of bodies — the gross, the subtle, and the causal. Yes. So what exactly is the causal body?

Answer

The causal body is what we call the subconscious mind — the very thing referred to here as Rasatala (the nether region). That is our causal body, because the impressions stored there — lying in seed form — become the cause of our next birth. And since those impressions are the cause, it is called the causal body. Its very name means that — the body made of the causes that create the next life.
