If the mind is cleared of tendencies there is no obstruction to the reflection of effulgence of self and in vedantic jargon it is called manonasa(destruction of the mind),it should not be understood as a literal destruction. Mind will be there but ego is annihilated. It is the tendencies that cause spurious growth of the ego which interferes with the reflection of self effulgence.
Destruction of tendencies amounts to destruction of the ego. In English it is termed as no mind state(Amanaska state in vedantic jargon).In this state all physiological functions continue through mind but only the anomaly of volition(sankalpa) and doubt(vikalpa) is destroyed forever.
