Book. God Talks With Arjuna. THE BHAGAVAD GITA. VERSE 41, CHAPTER VI. Part 5.
by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.
The yogi’s after-death experiences in the astral world.
As worms live in the soil,
fish in the water,
birds in the air,
and man on the surface of this earth.
So inhabitants of other physical worlds live under environmental influences far different from those of our planet.
Beings who dwell on certain stars, for instance, absorb life energy directly;
they do not breathe air like earthly beings.
Many people erroneously imagine that no beings could live on a planet lacking in air.
(Fish may think that no life is possible without the medium of water!)
Just as certain bacteria can live in fiery environments,
So there are beings who exist comfortably on planets that exude fiery energies.
In the astral world,
Beings live by life force (_prana_).
That is finer than electroprotonic or atomic energy.
Life force is an intelligent energy,
a cross between thought and energy.
In the astral world all appearances are energy responses to the thoughts of the inhabitants.
The astral scenes change according to the wishes of the astral beings.
The causal world is very fine-textured.
Superior to all physical and astral universes.
Only the most advanced yogis can remain in the causal sphere.
Perceiving the subtle manifestations of the various thought planets in the causal (ideational) universe.

Many years after Paramahansa Yogananda made this statement.
Scientists found microorganisms called hyperthermophilic archaebacteria.
In a variety of high-temperature environments. Previously thought to be incapable of supporting life.
Including the active zone of erupting volcanos.
(Book. Nature_, May 10, 1990.
And in the extreme heat of deep-sea thermal vents. The upper temperature limit at which such organisms can survive has not yet been determined. (_Publisher’s Note_)
