Manas
(Sk.). Mind—That which distinguishes man from the animals, and the Third Principle, counting downwards, of which man’s constitution is composed. Manas is divided into the Higher (Buddhi-Manas) and the Lower (Kama-Manas or the “Mind of Desire”). The latter is mortal and dissolved at death, but the Higher is the Spiritual Mind of which Atma and Buddhi forms the Spiritual Monad of man—the reincarnating entity. (TG)
The spiritual entity passing into the Subtle World continues its conscious or semi-conscious existence in proportion to the development of its higher Manas, or spirituality. (LHR I, p 376)
