Meaning Of Suddha Manas According to Vedanta

Suddha manas is uncontaminated "I-am-the-body-idea" in which one is conscious that he is living in a particular body but there is no identity with the body.When there is identity with the body "I-am-the-body-idea"is contaminated and when he says "I"he means that he is a body only.

When "I-am-the-body-idea" is uncontaminated it functions from the self and when it says "I" it means self.Uncontaminated "I-am-the-the-body-idea"functions with awareness of the self whereas contaminated "I-am-the-body-idea"functions from the ego centre.

So Suddha Manas means a mind which is free of all tendencies,so posited in the self and acts with the awareness of self.There is no relic of personality in such a mind in contrast to egoistic mind which functions from the personality born out of his innate tendencies.

Thanks to my spiritual friend Dr Raju garu for giving the explanation of what is meant by Suddha Manas.
