The Sanskrit word ‘manas’ or ‘mana’ means mind. Ayurvedic texts are rich with the knowledge of multi-dimensional aspects of the mind. ‘Life’ ([[ayu]]) is defined as the continuum of the combination of body ([[sharira]]), sense organs ([[indriya]]), mind, and soul ([[Atma]]). [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]]1/42] The mind is included in the three fundamental pillars of the holistic human being ([[purusha]]) with body and soul. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]]1/46] | |||
