Kama
(Sk.). Means ‘desire’. The fourth principle of man through which desire is expressed in two aspects: Kama-Manas, or the lower intellect (literally, the intellect of desires), and Kama-Rupa, or subjective form (the form of mental and physical desires and thoughts). This is the ‘thinker in action’. Kama, in connection with Manas (the higher) and Buddhi, forms the higher Subtle Body (the astral body, in order that it be not confused with its etheric double, is often called ‘the lower astral’), or the spiritual soul of the spiritually developed man. Kama-Manas is a sort of bridge which connects the higher Manas with Kamarupa, thus connecting Manas and Form to make the Kama-Manas body, or ‘human soul’. (LHR I, p 473)
