34 Evolution of Life and Form. 



is made up from the Prithivi Tattva. Not only 

 is this so, but within the limits of this physical 

 region, correspondences of all the higher six 

 atomic forms are reproduced. The sub-divisions 

 of the physical region, due to combinations of the 

 Prithivi Tattva, show forth the characteristics of the 

 great regions which make up the universe ; so that 

 we have here in our solid, liquid, gas, three ethers 

 and atoms, correspondences of the six higher tattvas, 

 but we have them all in their Prithivi form ; they 

 are the modifications of Prithivi, reproducing on a

 tattva, Prithivi Agnitattva, Prithivi Apastattva, 

 Prithivi Prithivitattva. Above the region of 

 Prithivi comes the great realm of Apas, with similar 

 sub-divisions, all of the Apastattva, and so again

 realm of V^yu, and above that again in the A'Msha, 

 and then the highest two unknown realms. When 

 you remember that all these regions interpenetrate 

 the one the other, you will gain some glimpse of a 

 complexity dizzying to think of, the vast com-

 working. Yet that complexity is simplified by thus
