Nine gates
So there are nine holes in our bodies. So that nine holes, they are acting. These two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, one mouth, one naval, and the evacuating and the urinal, they are nine holes and we are taking work with these nine holes. Just like one, this room. This room has got four outlets. One there, one here, and two windows. Similarly, we have got nine holes in our bodies. So we are acting with the help of these nine holes.
Nava-dvāre pure dehī. Dehī,
it is just like a room having nine outlets. We are not this body. That we must know. Nava-dvāre pure dehī. It is pure. Pure means a city or a room. I am sitting within this room.
Water, plastered with blood and wrapped in skin. It has nine doors (gates), but (the doors have) no shutters; it is supported by pillars of wind (the channels of the breath). The ignorant person does not meditate On God; because he thinks that this body is permanent
Mind is the ringleader as it sits on top of all. Free to escape through the corrupted holes, the deluded mind limits the Truth and binds the beings to the bondage of worldly hallucination. Thus, all senses with their respective demands, coloring, or covering (impurity) are unable to understand the Supreme Lord.
At the time of death, the soul departs from one of these 9 holes.
