Its actions are directed by the nature of the thoughts (lit.according to the nature of the objects of thought); and the result of the acts is felt by every body in his mind.

*vwv.462/1. Mind is indeed mere thought. Thought is activity having the characteristic of vibration (or movement). Everyone pursues the result in the form of the future (manifestation) of that (activity).

*sv. Mind is only perception; and perception is movement in consciousness. The expression of this movement is action, and fruition follows this.

theus o/r y = either  or y (but not both) //  o&r y =  o/r y (or both). 

*vlm.2. Ráma said:—Sir, I pray you will explain in length, regarding the immaterial mind as opposed to the material body, and its inseparable property of will or volition (contrary to the inertness of dull matter).

*AS: Please tell me in detail, the nature of mind engaged in formulating actions (ArUDha.saMkalpa), even though it is material . jaDa, yet has the form of non.material . ajaDa.AkRtiH. Thus the doubt is that even though mind is part of the perishable world, it seems to share the divine spark . the power of saMkalpa, and Rama wishes to learn how this happens.

*jd: I take a different reading here. We are looking at manas.Mind.

It is the self.containing repository of

 buddhi.Intellect, and citta Affection, and ahamkAra Egoity.

This comprehensive Mind has a rUpa.Form.

What *rAma wants to know, is the kind of Form.

Is it solid, inert, like a stone?

or does it manifest some sort of spanda.Vibration

(from the motions of electrons in the notions of the brain)?

or is it a perceptual concept? ¶ saMkalpa is, in the YV, a very important technical term, and will be more closely defined in many sargas to come.

#jaDa has many Engl. equivalents, but no one word comprehends them all. A corpse is jaDa—inert and stiff. The mind of an ignorant person is jaDa—dull, stupid. When frozen, ice becomes jaDa—dense, unmoving. And so on ….

.??source . Mind is an intention arising in the omnipotent and infinite consciousness. It stands between the real and the unreal, as it were, but inclined towards comprehension. Though non.different from the infinite consciousness, it thinks that it is. Though non.doing, it thinks it does. Such is the mind, and these qualities are inseparable from the mind. Even so the jiva and the mind are inseparable.

(Imagination is an active faculty, representing the phenomena of the internal and external worlds, Sir W Hamilton. It is an operation of the mind consisting of manifold functions, such as;—1. of receiving by the faculty of conception. 2. of retaining by the faculty of memory. 3. of recalling by the power of reproductive fancy; 4. of combining by productive fancy. In modern philosophy, it is the power of apprehending ideas, and combining them into new forms).

*sv.13.14 However, mind, intellect, egotism, individualised consciousness, action, fancy, birth and death, latent tendencies, knowledge, effort, memory, the senses, nature, *mAyA or illusion, activity and such other words are but words without corresponding reality: the sole reality is the infinite consciousness in which these concepts are conceived to exist.

* Dasgupta . The first self.conscious activity leading in different directions is called manas. When, after such oscillating movement, there is the position of either of the alternatives, as "the thus", it is called buddhi. When by the false notions of associations of body and soul there is the feeling of a concrete individual as "I", it is called ahamkAra. When there is reflective thought associated with the memory of the past and the anticipations of the future, it is called citta. When the activity is taken in its actual form as motion or action towards any point, it is called karma. When, leaving its self.contained state, it desires anything, we have kalpanA. When the citta turns itself to anything previously seen or unseen, as being previously experienced, we have_.. memory *smRti_ When certain impressions are produced in a very subtle, subdued form, dominating all other inclinations, as if certain attractions or repulsions to certain things were really experienced, we have the root inclinations ||3|96|'Habits'|| vAsanA. In the realization that there is such a thing as self.knowledge, and that there is also such a thing as the false and illusory world.appearance, we have what is called right knowledge vidyA. When the true knowledge is forgotten and the impressions of the false world.appearance gain ground, we have what are called the impure states mala. The functions of the five kinds of cognition please us and are called the senses indriya. As all world.appearance has its origin and ground in the highest self, it is called the origin prakRti. As the true state can neither be called existent nor non.existent, and as it gives rise to all kinds of appearance, it is called illusion *mAyA. Thus it is the same appearance that goes by the various names of jIva, manas, citta and buddhi. ||3|96| jIva ity uchyate loke mana ity api kathyate | cittam ity uchyate s' aiva buddhir ity uchyate tathA ||3|96|y3.96.34||

*vlm.26. The next is doubt, which entraps the dubious mind in the snare of scepticism, and tends to be the destruction of the soul, by causing it to disbelieve and forget the supreme spirit. (To the sceptic doubts for knowledge rise; but they give way before the advance of spiritual light).

*vwv.489/26. It becomes manifest for the destruction of the Self. It causes one to forget that Abode of Reality by a number of false doubts. Therefore it is determined as impurity.

*sv.26 On the other hand, when it moves in the wrong direction, towards greater self.forgetfulness and deeper involvement in false fancies, it is known as impurity. [def. mala]

*vlm.27. The mind is called sensation, because all its actions of hearing and feeling, of seeing and smelling, thinking and enjoying, serve to delight the senses, which convey the impressions back to the mind. *vwv.496/27.

*sv.28 When it remains unmanifest in the cosmic being, it is known as nature. [def. bhAva]

*vlm.28. The mind that views all the phenomena of nature in the Supreme Spirit, and takes outward nature as a copy of the eternal mind of God, is designated by the name of nature itself. (Because God is the Natura naturans or the Author of Nature; and the works of nature—matter and mind, are the Natura naturatá. Hence the mind knowing its own nature and that of its cause, is said to be an union of both natures, and is the personality of Brahmá the Demiurge, who is combined of nature and mind).

*VA . what is prakRtatvena bhAvAnAM? *AS."Due to the naturalness of experiences". Thus, as long as the paramAtmA has not been perceived, due to the naturalness of experiences of the visible world, it (world .dRzya.jAla) is called prakRti.

*sv.29 When it creates confusion between reality and appearance, it is known as *mAyA (illusion). When it thinks "I am bound" there is bondage; when it thinks "I am free" there is freedom.

*vlm.29. The mind is called máyá or magic, because it converts the real into unreal, and the unreal into real. Thus showing the realities as unrealities, and the vice.versa by turns. It is termed error or mistake of our judgement, giving ascent to what is untrue and the contrary. The causes of error are said to be ignorance (avidyá) and passions (tamas).

*vwv.490/29. It reduces reality to unreality immediately or pure being to a living being instantly. This is an error relating to reality and unreality. Because of that, it is described as illusion (*mAyA).

Its abstract knowledge of general truths being shadowed by its percipience of concrete and particular gross bodies, it comes to the knowledge of numbers and parts, and is overwhelmed by the multiplicity of its thoughts and the objects of its desires.

*VA . because of the impurity of the mind, he sees net of inert objects, causing multiple distinctions, as if consciousness has many own defects. *AS.

In other words, the illusion of the world imposes a false divided appearance on it.

it is worth reading. •.

"The first self.conscious activity leading in different directions is called manas.

When, after such oscillating movement, there is the position of either of the alternatives, as "the thus", it is called buddhi. When by the false notions of associations of body and soul there is the feeling of a concrete individual as "I", it is called ahamkAra. When there is reflective thought associated with the memory of the past and the anticipations of the future, it is called citta. When the activity is taken in its actual form as motion or action towards any point, it is called karma. When, leaving its self.contained state, it desires anything, we have kalpanA. When the citta turns itself to anything previously seen or unseen, as being previously experienced, we have memory smRti. When certain impressions are produced in a very subtle, subdued form, dominating all other inclinations, as if certain attractions or repulsions to certain things were really experienced, we have the root inclinations, vAsanA.Conditioning.

In the realization that there is such a thing as self.knowledge, and that there is also such a thing as the false and illusory world.appearance, we have what is called right knowledge vidyA. When the true knowledge is forgotten and the impressions of the false world.appearance gain ground, we have what are called the impure states mala. The functions of the five kinds of cognition please us and are called the senses indriya. As all world.appearance has its origin and ground in the highest self, it is called

the origin prakRti. As the true state can neither be called existent nor non.existent, and as it gives rise to all kinds of appearance, it is called illusion mAyA.Illusion. Thus it is the same appearance that goes by the various names of jIva, manas, citta and buddhi. ||3|96| jIva ity uchyate loke mana ity api kathyate | cittam ity uchyate s' aiva buddhir ity uchyate tathA ||3|96|y3.96.34||"

*vlm.34. It is variously styled as the living principle and the mind by most people on earth; but it is known as intellection and understanding (chitta and buddhi) by the wise.

It is neither material nor full of cit. * As explained above, it is only an apparent aberration. It is not just illusory, since it is an imposed image on cit, but it is not said to be full of cit; for that would leat_to the notion that the cit itself is corrupted. Yes, there is corruption and contamination, it is imposed on the cit, but does not affect it.

(Namely: the Nyáyá says, the Ego to be a dravya or substance; the living soul as God; the mind a sensitive particle and internal organ; and understanding as a transitory property of the mind. The Sánkhya has the understanding as a product of matter, and egoism a resultant of the same, and the mind as the eleventh

It is ignorance of the absolute truth and the misunderstanding of the different doctrines that cause their followers to quarrel with one another with bitter animosity. They consider their own particular dogmas to be the best, as every traveler may think, though wrongly, his own path to be the only and the best path (YV 3.96.51.53).” Again note that these passages from YV are essentially, with minor variants, same as passages in MU 3.96.49.53).

(The clear mind like clear water is unsullied with the soil of the material world; but the vitiated mind, like foul water, is full of the filth of worldliness).

*VA . for saMsara is dissolved in mind, (which is) in non.dual state,

by ignorance world appears, as impurity of the cause. *AS. When the mind becomes one with Brahman (manasi ekarUpe sati), the world dissolves. It is the secondary cause of the illusory world (upAvilam kAraNam) when by those thoughts of it, the world becomes present. The point being made seems to be that mind may not be the basic cause of the world's existence, it causes vaius modifications of its appearance.

*VA . if it were something besides attention of the mind, what is world in the absence of mind? entirety of everything and of all kinds of beings disappears completely. .rAS.If there is something in existence separately from the mind, then why would the world completely vanish for everyone whose mind dissolves?

If indeed, without intervention of mind (amanaskAram), the things like "ego" and other actions of sense organs would stimulate the body into actions, then let the life forms be part of the beyond. This one is rather obscure, because the thought is not developed further. The suggestion is that such an independent existence of a "body" is inconsistent with our knowledge. It is possible that such a thought is alluded to in the next two verses and might represent the philosophical systems being criticized.

*vlm.67. If egoism is not granted to be a mental action, and the sensations be reckoned as actions of the body; yet its name of the living principle, answers for all the acts of the body and mind.

to all dispute. (So all metaphysical disputes owe their origin to the difference of terminology. Such as, Kant regarded the mind under its true faculties of cognition, desire and moral feeling, called as Erkenntnisvermögen or Denkvermögen, Begehrungsvermögen, and Gefühlsvermögen.

the synonyms of Mind here, I refer the reader to Roget's Thesaurus for them).

*vlm.1 VASISHTHA said:—The mind is mere thought, and thought is the mind in motion (literally, having the property of fluctuation). Its actions are directed by the nature of the thoughts (lit-according to the nature of the objects of thought); and the result of the acts is felt by every body in his mind.

*vwv.462/1. Mind is indeed mere thought. Thought is activity having the characteristic of vibration (or movement). Everyone pursues the result in the form of the future (manifestation) of that (activity).

*sv. Mind is only perception; and perception is movement in consciousness. The expression of this movement is action, and fruition follows this.

*VA: mana:_hi bhAvanA-mAtram bhAvanA spanda-rUpiNI | kriya tad-bhAvitA-rUpam phalam sarvo-'nudhAvati [3096001] . jd. All my texts (including vwv) have "spanda-dharmiNI". Is this an error, or is there another transcription with this reading ???

I would like you to tell me

about the form of Manas the Mind, whether it is

*vlm.2. Ráma said:—Sir, I pray you will explain in length, regarding the immaterial mind as opposed to the material body, and its inseparable property of will or volition (contrary to the inertness of dull matter).

*AS: Please tell me in detail, the nature of mind engaged in formulating actions (ArUDha-saMkalpa), even though it is material - jaDa, yet has the form of non-material - ajaDa.AkRtiH. Thus the doubt is that even though mind is part of the perishable world, it seems to share the divine spark - the power of saMkalpa, and Rama wishes to learn how this happens.

*jd: I take a different reading here. We are looking at manas.Mind.

It is the self-containing repository of

 buddhi.Intellect, and citta Affection, and ahamkAra Egoity.

This comprehensive Mind has a rUpa.Form.

What *rAma wants to know, is the kind of Form.

Is it solid, inert, like a stone?

or does it manifest some sort of spanda.Vibration

(from the motions of electrons in the notions of the brain)?

or is it a perceptual concept? ¶ saMkalpa is, in the YV, a very important technical term, and will be more closely defined in many sargas to come.

Thus, it means, please tell me in detail, the nature of mind engaged in formulating actions (ArUDha-saMkalpa), even though it is material - jaDa, yet has the form of non-material - ajaDa.AkRtiH.

#ArUDha - mounted, ascended, bestridden (as a horse &c); risen; raised up, elevated on high; undertaken; reached, brought to (often used in compounds e.g indriya.ArUDha, brought under the cognizance of the senses, perceived); having reached or attained, come into (a state); ArUDham - the mounting, arising - y1017.024

#jaDa has many Engl. equivalents, but no one word comprehends them all. A corpse is jaDa—inert and stiff. The mind of an ignorant person is jaDa—dull, stupid. When frozen, ice becomes jaDa—dense, unmoving. And so on ….

.??source - Mind is an intention arising in the omnipotent and infinite consciousness. It stands between the real and the unreal, as it were, but inclined towards comprehension. Though non-different from the infinite consciousness, it thinks that it is. Though non-doing, it thinks it does. Such is the mind, and these qualities are inseparable from the mind. Even so the jiva and the mind are inseparable.

It is an operation of the mind consisting of manifold functions, such as;—1. of receiving by the faculty of conception. 2. of retaining by the faculty of memory. 3. of recalling by the power of reproductive fancy; 4. of combining by productive fancy.

* Dasgupta - The first self-conscious activity leading in different directions is called manas. When, after such oscillating movement, there is the position of either of the alternatives, as "the thus", it is called buddhi. When by the false notions of associations of body and soul there is the feeling of a concrete individual as "I", it is called ahamkAra. When there is reflective thought associated with the memory of the past and the anticipations of the future, it is called citta. When the activity is taken in its actual form as motion or action towards any point, it is called karma. When, leaving its self-contained state, it desires anything, we have kalpanA. When the citta turns itself to anything previously seen or unseen, as being previously experienced, we have_.. memory *smRti_ When certain impressions are produced in a very subtle, subdued form, dominating all other inclinations, as if certain attractions or repulsions to certain things were really experienced, we have the root inclinations ||3|96|'Habits'|| vAsanA. In the realization that there is such a thing as self-knowledge, and that there is also such a thing as the false and illusory world-appearance, we have what is called right knowledge vidyA. When the true knowledge is forgotten and the impressions of the false world-appearance gain ground, we have what are called the impure states mala. The functions of the five kinds of cognition please us and are called the senses indriya. As all world-appearance has its origin and ground in the highest self, it is called the origin prakRti. As the true state can neither be called existent nor non-existent, and as it gives rise to all kinds of appearance, it is called illusion *mAyA. Thus it is the same appearance that goes by the various names of jIva, manas, citta and buddhi. ||3|96| jIva ity uchyate loke mana ity api kathyate | cittam ity uchyate s' aiva buddhir ity uchyate tathA ||3|96|y3.96.34||

*vwv.491/28. It is called Nature (prakRti) in worldly usage on account of the (apparent) (prakRtatva) of objects, when the entire collection of visible objects is not seen in the Supreme Self.

*sv.28 When it remains unmanifest in the cosmic being, it is known as nature. [def. bhAva]

*vlm.28. The mind that views all the phenomena of nature in the Supreme Spirit, and takes outward nature as a copy of the eternal mind of God, is designated by the name of nature itself. (Because God is the Natura naturans or the Author of Nature; and the works of nature—matter and mind, are the Natura naturatá. Hence the mind knowing its own nature and that of its cause, is said to be an union of both natures, and is the personality of Brahmá the Demiurge, who is combined of nature and mind).

*VA - what is prakRtatvena bhAvAnAM? *AS."Due to the naturalness of experiences". Thus, as long as the paramAtmA has not been perceived, due to the naturalness of experiences of the visible world, it (world -dRzya-jAla) is called prakRti.

*sv.29 When it creates confusion between reality and appearance, it is known as *mAyA (illusion). When it thinks "I am bound" there is bondage; when it thinks "I am free" there is freedom.

*vlm.29. The mind is called máyá or magic, because it converts the real into unreal, and the unreal into real. Thus showing the realities as unrealities, and the vice-versa by turns. It is termed error or mistake of our judgement, giving ascent to what is untrue and the contrary. The causes of error are said to be ignorance (avidyá) and passions (tamas).

*vwv.490/29. It reduces reality to unreality immediately or pure being to a living being instantly. This is an error relating to reality and unreality. Because of that, it is described as illusion (*mAyA).

*vlm.33. Its abstract knowledge of general truths being shadowed by its percipience of concrete and particular gross bodies, it comes to the knowledge of numbers and parts, and is overwhelmed by the multiplicity of its thoughts and the objects of its desires. (i.e. Having lost the knowledge of the universal whole and discrete numbers, the mind comes to know the concrete particulars only).

*VA - because of the impurity of the mind, he sees net of inert objects, causing multiple distinctions, as if consciousness has many own defects. *AS. The AB commentary introduces this by saying this is explaining how a single original cit takes on such a varied form. It says: By the cit appears as smeared with the impurities of the stimulative mind, thus fallen into web of the material world, and multiply split by the notions of multiple divisions. In other words, the illusion of the world imposes a false divided appearance on it.

*jd. I've lost the source of this note, prob. from a comm. on *dakSiNAmurti-stotra.

it is worth reading. •

"The first self-conscious activity leading in different directions is called manas.

When, after such oscillating movement, there is the position of either of the alternatives, as "the thus", it is called buddhi. When by the false notions of associations of body and soul there is the feeling of a concrete individual as "I", it is called ahamkAra. When there is reflective thought associated with the memory of the past and the anticipations of the future, it is called citta. When the activity is taken in its actual form as motion or action towards any point, it is called karma. When, leaving its self-contained state, it desires anything, we have kalpanA. When the citta turns itself to anything previously seen or unseen, as being previously experienced, we have memory smRti. When certain impressions are produced in a very subtle, subdued form, dominating all other inclinations, as if certain attractions or repulsions to certain things were really experienced, we have the root inclinations, vAsanA.Conditioning.

In the realization that there is such a thing as self-knowledge, and that there is also such a thing as the false and illusory world-appearance, we have what is called right knowledge vidyA. When the true knowledge is forgotten and the impressions of the false world-appearance gain ground, we have what are called the impure states mala. The functions of the five kinds of cognition please us and are called the senses indriya. As all world-appearance has its origin and ground in the highest self, it is called

the origin prakRti. As the true state can neither be called existent nor non-existent, and as it gives rise to all kinds of appearance, it is called illusion mAyA.Illusion. Thus it is the same appearance that goes by the various names of jIva, manas, citta and buddhi. ||3|96| jIva ity uchyate loke mana ity api kathyate | cittam ity uchyate s' aiva buddhir ity uchyate tathA ||3|96|y3.96.34||"

*vlm.34. It is variously styled as the living principle and the mind by most people on earth; but it is known as intellection and understanding (chitta and buddhi) by the wise.

*VA wise speak of this as of mixture of various notions and many synonims,

impure and deviated away from great Self.

*AS. The wise, thus talk about cit, contaminated by the world and separated from the Brahman, as full of different creative notions and in different aspects (paryAyanicayam).

*vlm.49. The Nyáyá philosophy has taken the mind &c., in different lights according to its own view of them; and so the Sankhya system explains the perception and senses in a way peculiar to itself. (Namely: the Nyáyá says, the Ego to be a dravya or substance; the living soul as God; the mind a sensitive particle and internal organ; and understanding as a transitory property of the mind. The Sánkhya has the understanding as a product of matter, and egoism a resultant of the same, and the mind as the eleventh

It is ignorance of the absolute truth and the misunderstanding of the different doctrines that cause their followers to quarrel with one another with bitter animosity. They consider their own particular dogmas to be the best, as every traveler may think, though wrongly, his own path to be the only and the best path (YV 3.96.51-53).” Again note that these passages from YV are essentially, with minor variants, same as passages in MU 3.96.49-53).

*vlm.62. The mind which is one with the divine Intellect (i. e. sedately fixed in the one Brahmá), perceives the world to be absorbed into itself; but being polluted with matter (like fresh water with soil), it falls into the error of taking the world for real. (The clear mind like clear water is unsullied with the soil of the material world; but the vitiated mind, like foul water, is full of the filth of worldliness).

*VA - for saMsara is dissolved in mind, (which is) in non-dual state,

by ignorance world appears, as impurity of the cause. *AS. When the mind becomes one with Brahman (manasi ekarUpe sati), the world dissolves. It is the secondary cause of the illusory world (upAvilam kAraNam) when by those thoughts of it, the world becomes present. The point being made seems to be that mind may not be the basic cause of the world's existence, it causes vaius modifications of its appearance.

*vlm.63. Know Ráma, that neither the pure immaterial intellect, nor gross matter as the inert stone, can be the cause of the material world. (The spirit cannot produce matter, nor can dull matter be productive of itself).

*VA - for, Rama, non-inert mind is not a cause of saMsara and inert stone, by its nature, is not cause of saMsara. *AS: Here the above point is restated that mind cannot be the cause, whether you consider it as jaDa or ajaDa.

*VA - because of this, in this world, O Rama, mind is not conscious nor inert cause of objects, like light (is not the cause of material) forms?? *AS. The mind, whether inert or active, is not the cause of perception like illumination makes appearance visible. • I see the meaning differently from the commentary. If you shine light on something red, you see the redness. But this means the redness is already there, and the light only lets you see it. But the world is not supposed to be real anyway(:-))

*VA - if it were something besides attention of the mind, what is world in the absence of mind? entirety of everything and of all kinds of beings disappears completely. .rAS.If there is something in existence separately from the mind, then why would the world completely vanish for everyone whose mind dissolves? The point being made is that if world hat_a separate existence, then it would continue to be experienced without the intervention of the mind.

*VA - if mind is not creator of names, names are of creation of ego and senses, then jivas etc must exist in highest??? about body and trembling I did not get, and argument is not very clear.

*AS. nAma does not refer to name here. It is an indeclinable meaning "indeed" or "really". If indeed, without intervention of mind (amanaskAram), the things like "ego" and other actions of sense organs would stimulate the body into actions, then let the life forms be part of the beyond. This one is rather obscure, because the thought is not developed further. The suggestion is that such an independent existence of a "body" is inconsistent with our knowledge. It is possible that such a thought is alluded to in the next two verses and might represent the philosophical systems being criticized.

*vlm.67. If egoism is not granted to be a mental action, and the sensations be reckoned as actions of the body; yet its name of the living principle, answers for all the acts of the body and mind.

Whenever, the pure intelligence (zuddhA saMvit) develops even a tinge of material nature (jaDeva zakti: uditA), variety of results arise.

*vlm.71. As the spider lets out its threat_from itself, it is in the same manner that the inert has sprung from the intellect, and matter has come into existence from the ever active spirit of of Brahma.

*vlm.73. The same pure Intellect, is brought to bear the different designates of the mind, as understanding, living principle and egoism; and the same is expressed in the world by the terms intelligence, heart, animation and many other synonyms, which being taken as expressive of the same thing, must put an end

to all dispute. (So all metaphysical disputes owe their origin to the difference of terminology. Such as, Kant regarded the mind under its true faculties of cognition, desire and moral feeling, called as Erkenntnisvermögen or Denkvermögen, Begehrungsvermögen, and Gefühlsvermögen. Insteat_of multiplying

the synonyms of Mind here, I refer the reader to Roget's Thesaurus for them).

*VA - surely, jiva, mind and intellect and indivituality - these are expansions of impurity in cit??? which is called in world as intelligence, mind, jiva and surely here is no agreement among groups (of different philosophies), only dispuration. *AS. The cit when contaminated (with worldly ideas) has come to be regarded as life, mind, intelligence, ego and so on. So it (cit) is addressed by different terms in this world - like consciousness, mind, life-form (cetana-citta-jIva) ; there is no argument about this (na asti vivAda eSa:)!

These Terms

which have been described by me to you, Raaghava, pertain to Chetas.Sentience, the Affective Awareness

and are defined differently by adherents of hundreds of different doctrines

.

*jd. We find this exemplified in translations that make <saMkalpa> "desire",

alttho the term also indicates "disdain" and "indifference" also.
