इन्द्रियेभ्यः परं मनो मनसः सत्त्वमुत्तमम् ।
सत्त्वादधि महानात्मा महतोऽव्यक्तमुत्तमम् ॥ ७॥
indriyebhyaḥ paraṃ mano manasaḥ sattvamuttamam .
sattvādadhi mahānātmā mahato’vyaktamuttamam .. 7..
Beyond the senses is the mind, beyond the mind is the intellect, higher than the intellect is the Great Atman, higher than the Great Atman is the Unmanifest.
Commentary:
There is a repetition, almost, of a verse that occurred earlier. Beyond the sense organs is the mind, beyond the mind is the intellect, beyond the intellect is the great intellect, the cosmic intellect, Hiranyagarbha-tattva, beyond that is the cosmic Prakriti, the Avyakta, and beyond that is the Purusha. That Purusha has no characteristic. Once having known that Supreme Purusha above the cosmic intellect, above the Avyakta Prakriti, above the intellect, mind, sense organs and objects, one immediately attains immortality.
