Causal Body +

This “body”, which is no body either objective or subjective, but ''Buddhi, ''the Spiritual Soul, is so called because it is the direct cause of the Sushupti condition, leading to the ''Turya ''state, the highest state of ''Samadhi''.

Buddhi alone could not be called a “Causal Body ”, but becomes so in conjunction with Manas, the incarnating Entity or EGO [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
