127. MANAKASA - ITS FUNCTIONS

            194. Akasa tattva or ether, upon which the impressions received through the senses are recorded, is known as manakasa (mind-sky). This Akasa possesses an elasticity of an immensely high character, identical with the elasticity of ether found in creation. By means of this elasticity the impressions produced in manakasa or in the ordinary ether of nature are transmitted to their destination. The destination in the case of natural disturbances is radiative, while in the case of manakasa, although this function is not wanting, it is subjective. Mind with its four functions becomes cognizant at the time the impressions are being recorded, but with the diversion of attention to other impressions and in other directions, the consciousness of the previous impressions fades and gradually they bypass away from the ordinary schedule of memory. The impressions, however, by such disappearance, are not entirely effaced. They are scrupulously preserved in the old records of manakasa. When these are approached, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by complete convergence of attention towards them, they are forthwith reproduced and recollected as explained above.
