Notes

" According to the Hindu system of thought (Vedanta), antahkarana stands between the Self and the object and receives the object of perception, assuming its form as a whole .... Mind, or antahkarana, gets its power by association with the Self, or Atma, which is the same as Brahman, or the Absolute"[2]
