5. Planes and Parts of the Being
Fragment ID: 314
I do not suppose they mean expressly intuition; they regard buddhi as the means of knowledge, so they include all knowledge in it, and as the vijñānamaya koṣa is the Knowledge sheath, they think it must mean buddhi. Obviously it doesn’t. The description you have quoted evidently means something much higher than buddhi. It is the satyam ṛtam bṛhat of the Upanishad – the truth-consciousness of the Veda.
