body. Speech is made of these atoms and the mind is made up
of atoms even lighter than these.
Mind : Subtle And Gross
There are two kinds of minds : gross and subtle. – The
subtle mind is also known as bhaav mun, intent or causal mind
or charge mind, and the gross mind is called dravya mun, the
effect mind. The causal mind is located at a depth of two and
a half inches from the center of the forehead at the eyebrow
level. The effect mind, also known as discharge mind, is in the
heart. It has petals. Many people say, ‘My heart does not
accept.’ In situations of sudden shock, the heart becomes very
agitated, that is physical mind- it is in the form of discharge,
whereas the causal mind creates new causes and therefore it
charges karma.
The causal mind has a purpose and that is why the seeds
of cause are sown. The causal mind can be recognized from
your intents. But you do not have the ability to see your deep
inner intents; you can only do so after you attain the Self.
Thereafter You are absolutely impartial and are able to see the
mind completely separate like a movie. Only then can you
understand what causal mind is. Only the omniscient can
recognize the causal mind. The Gnani, who is omniscient, seals
off your causal mind and so there is no charging of a new mind,
but only the discharging mind remains. Thereafter you only need
to see and know the effect or discharge.
What the foreigners refer to as conscious and subconscious
mind, is the physical or discharge mind. No one can grasp even
a single atom of the subtle causal mind. That is the task for only
the Gnani Purush because it can only be ascertained through
Gnan.
