Namaste All, David, It is my guess that Lakshamana Swami, when writing bout the mind, is referring to its primordial manifestation. That is, there is Nirguna Brahman and then there is Sakti,( or Siva/Sakti). The only difference between Siva/Nirguna Brahman and Saguna being manifestation or 'mind'. The mind takes on different 'roles' as opposed to different forms. Pranamayakosa is of course the seat of what we call K, and in fact energy. Manomayakosa is just another role or kosa, for recording in the chitta or funtioning in memory etc. In my recent post about Om Tat Sat/Sat Tat Om, one can see this also. For here we have Sat or Nirguna Brahman, and then we have Tat/Om, creation and the consciousness within, Saguna Brahman. Not really separate but roles of Saguna Brahman or the Devi. So we have Siva then Sakti then manifestation, prana/karma! When the role of K has cleaned the kosas and more particularly the 'Buddhi', of the intellect or vjnanamayakosa then moksha can occurr. The scum on the pond that prevents the pure reflection of the sun is gone. This awareness then merges the reflection with the reflector and finds there never was any reflection or even a reflector. Om Namah Sivaya, Tony. ===== http://members.xoom.com/aoclery/sanskritglos.htm ASATHO MA SATH GAMAYA, From the unreal lead me to the real, THAMASO MA JYOTHIR GAMAYA, From darkness, lead me to light, MRITHYOR MA AMRITAM GAMAYA.From death, lead me to immortality.
