In Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy, the concept of *Manas* (mind) plays a crucial and multi-dimensional role within his broader metaphysical and spiritual framework. Aurobindo’s understanding of *Manas* is deeply rooted in the Indian spiritual tradition, yet he reinterprets and expands it significantly in the context of his vision of Integral Yoga and spiritual evolution. For Aurobindo, the *Manas* is not merely a faculty of thought or sensory reception; it is a vital link in the chain of consciousness that bridges the material and the spiritual realms. In the classical Indian tradition, *Manas* is considered one of the inner instruments (*Antahkarana*), often associated with sensory processing and the preliminary level of cognition. It functions as the coordinator between the senses and the intellect (*Buddhi*). Aurobindo accepts this traditional division but elaborates on it in a more evolutionary and psychological sense. In his framework, *Manas* is situated within the hierarchy of consciousness that moves from the Inconscient to the Supermind. Aurobindo delineates different layers of the mind, each with distinct functions and capacities. The *Manas*, in the more general sense, is included in what he calls the *mental being* or the *mental sheath* (*Manomaya kosha*). It is the lowest layer of the mind in __________ _______ ______ __________ _____ ________ _________ _________ __________ ________ _______ _________.
