Dominant For His (the Jiva's) Experience, By The Command Will Of The Lord

 - As the three Gunas Sattva, Rajas and Tamas are inseparable, even the Tamas-ridden Root-cause has inherent in it all the three Gunas. 

- The elements created out of this Root-cause must also have in them all these three Gunas. From the Sattva aspects of the five elements individually considered

- arise respectively the five faculties of sensation known as the Ear, the Skin, the Eye, the Tongue and the Nose. These faculties must not be confused with the gross

- physical organs of flesh and blood which go by these names. From the five Sattva aspects of them (the Elements) are born in order the five faculties 

- of sensation known as the Ear, Skin, Eye, Tongue and Nose. From the same Sattva aspects but collectively taken up arises the inner instrument

- which is called Mind when it is cogitating and the Intellect when it determines. It is because of this collective nature, it is able to record all the sensations

- had severally through the varying senses. From all of them the Sattva aspects of the Five elements is made the Inner Instrument. It is two-fold owing

- to the difference in functioning. It is mind when it has the characteristic of thinking. It is intellect when it has the nature of determination

- Similarly from the Rajas aspects of the Five Elements considered individually arise the faculties of Action. From the same collectively arises Prana the Life Principle
