What Is Mind?

[besoft]

Japmans ji,

Kindly accept my gratitude for the work that you have done for me. I am very grateful. I am a querist and have no knowledge and how can i disagree. a person is in the state of disagrement if he has a knowledge. I do not have knowledge in these matters.

All that troubles me ,sometimes, as to so much has been stated in respect of mind in bani and i know nothing about it.

Mind is intangible ,yes, it is the way we have learnt the things.

But

Bani clearly states that mind is of five elements. The basic elements ,it is only here that one gets confused.

For a person like me it is difficult to conceptualize.

hope u appreciate my foolishness.

Regards.

ਹਿਰਦਾ ਦੇਹ ਨ ਹੋਤੀ ਅਉਧੂ ਤਉ ਮਨੁ ਸੁੰਨਿ ਰਹੈ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ॥

हिरदा देह न होती अउधू तउ मनु सुंनि रहै बैरागी ॥

Hirḏā ḏėh na hoṯī a*oḏẖū ṯa*o man sunn rahai bairāgī.

When the heart and the body did not exist, O hermit, then the mind resided in the absolute, detached Lord.

I have put here another line from bani.One may kindly like to go thru. and advise so that we arrive at a consensus.

Regards
