Mind, Intellect And Personality

Mind, Intellect And Personality

Just as electrical energy produces warmth, sound or light depending on the device through which it passes, similarly, the energy of consciousness functions through three different but closely connected entities, referred to respectively by the terms mind, intellect and personality.

The Mind
With the power of the mind, one imagines, thinks and forms ideas.  The non-physical mind should not be confused with the heart, the physical organ that maintains blood circulation.

The Intellect
The intellect understands, reasons, memorizes, discriminates and makes decisions. The non–physical intellect should not be confused with the physical brain, which is the physical focus of the nervous system.

The Personality
Habits, sanskaras and tendencies are all embedded in the soul in the form of impressions as a result of every action performed. The most fundamental feature of every soul, its personality, is determined by such stored impressions
