ounded into a gross body and further into a<br />
subtler part of the said body, then emanates what<br />
is called “mind”. In that state, mind had an existence<br />
but no thoughts had entered into it. Such a<br />
state of mind is experienced by every individual<br />
during the deep sleep state. <strong>Th</strong>at is the subtle<br />
state of mind.<br />
<strong>Th</strong>erefore subtle mind = Consciousness + a Shell<br />
+ Space + Movement (Since shell is none other<br />
than subtle matter)<br />
= Consciousness + Subtle matter +<br />
Space + Movement<br />
= Consciousness + Consciousness +<br />
Time + Space + Static Movement + Space +<br />
Movement<br />
= Consciousness + Time + Space<br />
(XYZ) + Movement + Static Movement<br />
= 7 Dimensions<br />
Now compare subtle matter and subtle<br />
mind. <strong>Th</strong>e only difference is that the aspect of<br />
mobility is a bit more prominent in the subtle<br />
mind.<br />
Compare subtle energy and subtle mind:<br />
In the subtle mind a new factor called space has<br />

We understand that mind is nearer not<br />
only to gross and subtle energy but also to the<br />
subtle matter. But it is slightly away, to the<br />
gross matter. But in the beginning of this article,<br />
we stated that mind also is a form of energy.<br />
We also said that energy can be divided<br />
into two categories viz. the conceiver energy<br />
and the conceived energy.<br />
entered and hence the factor of stillness also<br />
found a place in the mind.<br />
Compare gross energy and subtle mind :<br />
In the gross energy the fact of consciousness is<br />
totally gone and the subtle mind is slightly<br />
present.<br />
Due to these observations, we understand<br />
that mind is nearer not only to gross<br />
and subtle energy but also to the subtle<br />
matter. But it is slightly away, to the gross<br />
matter. But in the beginning of this article,<br />
we stated that mind also is a form of energy.<br />
We also said that energy can be divided<br />
into two categories viz. the conceiver<br />
energy and the conceived energy.<br />
We said that the mind and the organs are<br />
the conceiver energy and all the others<br />
are conceived energies. But now after a<br />
detailed analysis one can find that mind is<br />
not merely an energy but it is a combination of<br />
energy and matter.<br />
One more thing is that in the wakeful state<br />
we conceive matters and energies only through<br />
gross mind but not by the subtle mind. So, we<br />
should make some detailed study of gross mind.<br />
We have already defined the subtle mind. If another<br />
dimension called thought enters into the<br />
subtle mind it gets transformed into the gross<br />
state. But what is meant by a thought?<br />
Subtle mind is a combination of energy<br />
and matter but there is another dimension called<br />
space in it. So if a wave-like motion gets formed<br />
in the mind, that wave is called thought.8 If the<br />
wave is formed internally in the mind then<br />
thoughts such as desire and anger take shape. If<br />
the figments of energy in mind travel out through<br />
