Passages from Yogic Sadhan [5]

What is “the conceptual activity of the Manas” [p. 1385] and how can one still it?

The real conceptual activity belongs rather to the Buddhi – that of the Manas is simply a rendering of perceptions and impressions into thought-forms. There is no necessity of specially stilling this function – it comes best with a general stillness of the mind.
