Note 61 — Chapter VI · NOTES.

“The saline crystal and its red-bluishness, The milky sap and its sweetness, Various flowers and their fruits, The sun and the moon and their luminosity: These are neither separable nor inseparable. As waves are stirred in the water, Even so the seven modes of mentation Are awakened in the Mind and united with it. When the waters are troubled in the ocean, We have waves that roll each in its own way: So with the Mind All-Conserving. When stirred, therein diverse mentations arise: Citta, Manas, and Manovijñâna. These we distinguish as attributes, In substance they differ not from each other; For they are neither attributing nor attributed. The sea-water and the waves, One varies not from the other: It is even so with the Mind and its activities; Between them difference nowhere obtains. Citta is karma-accumulating, Manas reflects an objective world, Manovijñâna is the faculty of judgment, The five Vijñânas are the differentiating senses.”[61]
