Due to being conditioned by the external energy, the conditioned soul within this material world gets two kinds of bodies -- a gross material body and a subtle material body composed of mind, intelligence and ego. Due to the gross and subtle bodies, he is subjected to the threefold miseries (adhyatmika, adhibhautika and adhidaivika), miseries arising from the body and mind, other living entities and natural disturbances caused by demigods from higher planetary systems.
