Yogic philosophy sees the body as a vehicle for the soul in its journey toward enlightenment. As such, the body is really three bodies. The physical body is the body we see. It is the body that is born, grows and eventually dies while the other two (astral and causal bodies) continue on to the hereafter. It is considered to be the lowest of the three bodies.
the physical body contains a subtle energy body; it is the most dense of all the 4 lower bodies. (see Bodies, Lower Bodies)
In physics, a physical body (sometimes called simply a body or even an object) is a collection of masses, taken to be one. For example, a baseball can be considered an object but the baseball also consists of many particles (pieces of matter).
The Physical body is understood in Theosophy as simply the last of seven progressively denser "vehicles of consciousness".
