The twelfth mantra names the antaḥkaraṇa-catuṣṭaya — “the fourfold inner instrument”.
They are four: manas — the mind, which wavers and doubts; buddhi — reason, which decides; ahaṅkāra — selfhood, the “I-maker”, which appropriates everything; citta — memory, where everything settles.
This is our whole inner apparatus as the Indian science of the soul describes it. And it is said: it is He.
Note that among the four selfhood too is named — ahaṅkāra. Yet it is precisely she who in these books is held the root of the trouble: from her come “mine” and “I myself”.
And still she too is named He.
In this is the whole difference between rejection and embracing. The book does not command to destroy selfhood, as it did not command to drive out the guṇas — of which the fourth paragraph of the fifth Upaniṣad of the pūrva spoke: there the three guṇas were the mat beneath Him.
The instruments remain instruments; what changes is whose they are acknowledged to be.
