Re: Descriptions of Ghosts

Dear Jagannatha Gauranga dasa, Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! This verse talks about the superiority and subtlety of the constitution of the material body in ascending order not necessarily the quality of life the soul has to experience in those bodies. It is true that the ghost body is subtler than the human body and that is why it is ranked higher in this verse. But surely there is much more pain to be experienced in the ghost body than the human form because the ghost cannot perform even the basic human activities like eating, sleeping etc. and has to forcibly occupy another human body to do that. Thank you for this nice observation and question.

Daaso'smi, BR Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada.
