everything else) can attain to it. All objects that the mind apprehends
through the senses are capable of being withdrawn into the mind; the
mind can be withdrawn into the understanding; the Understanding can be

the Understanding. The Understanding cannot apprehend the manifested
Soul. The Soul, however, which is subtile, beholds those all.'"'"

mind is only an attribute of Knowledge. When the mind becomes united with
the faculties of knowledge, then the Understanding (which bodies forth

attributes of action, becomes directed towards the mind (after being
withdrawn from outward objects), then does it succeed in knowing Brahma
