The mind is a special, limited particularization of the Soul-consciousness, which is
unlimited and never ceases to be all-pervading. The mind is the form of the collective totality of
desires, and hence, it is inert and powerless. But it appears to be conscious and powerful as the
Inner Self or the Soul is reflected through it. The mind alone is the real person or the individual
and it is the real doer of all actions. It is the experiencer of every condition in the universe, both
objectively and subjectively. The Soul is the Absolute which is not really affected by any
experience of the mind. The mind is mortal, while the Soul is immortal.
