Quotes:Manasa

H. P. Blavatsky

Mânasa. “The efflux of the divine mind,” and explained as meaning that this efflux signifies the manasa or divine sons of Brahmâ‐Virâj. Nilakantha who is the authority for this statement, further explains the term “manasa” by manomâtrasarira. These Manasa are the Arupa or incorporeal sons of the Prajâpati Virâj, in another version. But as Arjuna Misra identifies Virâj with Brahmâ, and as Brahmâ is Mahat, the universal mind, the exoteric blind becomes plain. The Pitris are identical with the Kumâra, the Vairaja, the Manasa‐Putra (mind sons), and are finally identified with the human “Egos”.
