Mind

mind The mind's chief function is to serve as an instrument for Soul to make all Its contact with the psychic and material worlds. There is only one mind acting on different planes.

The mind is also the channel through which the negative force, or Kal Niranjan, attempts to control Soul and keep It in the lower worlds through the five passions of the mind.

Four Faculties of the Mind

• Chitta, which takes cognizance of form, beauty, color, rhythm, harmony, and perspective, receiving its impressions mainly through the eyes.
• Manas, which has the power to receive feeling, taste, smell, and hearing.
• Buddhi, the intellect proper, chief instrument of thought, discrimination, decision, and judgement.
• Ahankar, the faculty of separating self and self-interest from all else; the I-ness, the faculty which executes orders; when exaggerated, it becomes vanity.
