I assume the actual sanskrit refers to chitta not manas. Its a bad translation to say "mind" in that it has an entirely different and larger connation in the west (cognitive capabilites, and often intellect) than chitta -- storehouse of (binding) impressions. The "no mind" translation gives rise to silly notions. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
