You have explained very well. Next part on this series begins with puryaṣṭaka and connection between our existence, transmigration and liberation. I am trying to interpret puryaṣṭaka both from gross and subtle points of view. Thank you for your wonderful participation and we look forward to your continued participation.

Thanks for taking your time in replying me. What I wanted to say that the subtle body (puryashtaka) never dies during the death of the adhiboudhika body, the body comprised of elements. It carries on till one gets liberation. it takes one body after another according to its karma and desires. This has been emphasized in Yoga Vasishta, the supreme scripture. That's why there is a continuation of Karma as well as remembrance of previous births. Karma being separated in the form of "karmic bag" and assigned to another subtle body is unwarranted (according to your writing). There are have been many occasions in the scriptures where people who have done the appropriate yoga obtain the vision of all their previous births, one example being yoga Vasishta. There is an absolute continuation of subtle body and in no stage it is destroyed, as when this is destroyed, the "I" sense gets nullified. The puryashtaka gets created when the cosmic consciousness reflects on itself and it gets destroyed the moment the "I", which is the cause of the creation of Puryashtaka, is realized as non-existent and just an imagination.

Puryaṣṭaka is explained in this linkBhāvanopaniṣad 13Karma is one of the components of Puryaṣṭaka. Spiritual sādhana leads to liberation. Spiritual sādhana has been exhaustively discussed in this site.

Instead of reinventing the wheel on birth, death, rebirth etc. you can concentrate on what you do at your best - leading the masses towards spiritual sadhana. I disgaree with most of your views presented in the form of conversation of Shiva and Shakti, especially the karmic bag stuff. The five Kosa framework is also not uniform across scriptures, and the puryashtaka interpretation seems to be more logical.
