We can classify the functioning stages of the mind into three levels, that is, (i) surface, (ii) bottom and (iii) origin. In the sensual perceptions and in the feelings of pain and pleasure, the mind functions in its surface. In this stage, self-forgetfulness and emotions are present. When the mind turns inward and realises its own existence, the process of its own transformation during the sensual perceptions and its source as life-energy, there it is functioning in its bottom.
It is in this stage that Awareness and soul-Consciousness are present. A light of insight comes into being. When the mind realises its origin, it gets its full perfection and identifies itself as the Universal Being-the Absolute-the Truth. This is the peak of the sixth sense. The purpose for which man is born is to attain to this stage.
