(2) Where the existence of mind becomes perceptible in conjunction with
life.
(3) Where the highest state of mental abstraction ends, and spiritual
consciousness commences.
(4) Where spiritual consciousness disappears, leaving the seventh
principle in a complete state of Nirvana, or nakedness.
According to our philosophers, the fifth principle under consideration
is intended to represent the mind in every possible state of
development, from the second stage up to the third stage.
IV. Brahmam and Sakti. This principle corresponds to your "spiritual
intelligence." It is, in fact, Buddhi (I use the word Buddhi not in the
ordinary sense, but in the sense in which it is used by our ancient
philosophers); in other words, it is the seat of Bodha or Atmabodha.
One who has Atmabodha in its completeness is a Buddha. Buddhists know
very well what this term signifies. This principle is described in the
"Fragments" as an entity coming into existence by the combination of
Brahmam and Prakriti. I do not again know in what particular sense the
word Prakriti is used in this connection.
