difference between mind and chittam

Somebody has asked me about the difference between Mind and Chitta or Chittam. I am explaining briefly. If anybody wanted explanation in full, please purchase my book, “Gita Antararth”,  or the inner meaning of Bhagavat Gita. Telugu version is available in my Mandir. For English and Hindi versions they may get it from Amazon kindle.

From half of untreated Positive predominant five electricities, Antahkarana is manifested. That means Samishti Sthoola Ahamkaar(Macro Physical ego), samishti Sthoola Chittam(Macro Physical feeling), Samishti Sthoola Buddhi(Macro Physical determinating Intellect) and Samishti Sthoola Manas(Macro Physical wavering Mind with attractions and repulsions) were manifested.

Detailed explanation:

From the rest of untreated Macro Positive (Satwa) five Electricities  Antahkarana manifested.

In half of untreated Macro Positive (Satwa) Akasha (Space) Paramatma Himself entered.

In half of untreated Macro Positive (Satwa) Vayu(Air) Manas(Mind) manifested.  

In half of untreated Macro Positive (Satwa) Agni(Fire) determinating Intellect (Nischayaatmaka Buddhi) manifested.  

In half of untreated Macro Positive (Satwa) Varuna(Water) Chittam (or sphere of thinking) is manifested.

In half of untreated Macro Positive (Satwa) Prithvi(Earth),  Ego(Ahamkaar) with I-ness manifested.

With Meditation or kriyayoga sadhana the mind will go within.  With the inner going or with the interiorization (antarmukh) of Antahkarana, Man will be able to understand the extraordinary powers of Senses.

Manas, Buddhi, Chittam and Ahamkaar are our ancestors.

Tarpanam means inward turned Pranashakti or Life Force.

Mano (Wavering mind), Buddhi (discriminating Intellect), Chitta (Sphere of thinking) and Ahamkaar (Ego).

Antahkarana further explained below:

Mind consists of positive and negative thoughts. It has come out of Vayu tatwa.

Chittam is like a lake of water consisting of positive and negative thoughts. Its sphere is limited to this positive and negative thoughts. The sphere is proportional to past Karma. It has comeout of Jala tatwa.

Buddhi determines the decision to take or follow positive or negative thoughts. Its decision depends on Samskarams or habits of the past birth(s).  If the Prarabdha karma contains Good habits it follows righteous path. If the Prarabdha karma contains bad habits it follows  wrong path.

Ahamkara is the I-ness. Again this follows samskarama or habits of the path. This consists of three gunas or qualities/traits, Satwa(Positive), Rajas(neutral), and Thaamas (negative).

Rajo Guna is the catalyst to start the ripples in the stilled lake like Chittam consisting of positive and negative thoughts at rest.

That ripples, bad and good thoughts, is known as  Mind comes in with bad or good wavering thoughts.

Then Buddhi determines which thought is to be followed, good or bad depending upon past samskarams or habits.

Ahamkar, I-ness will meet misery or happiness depending upon the action taken by Buddhi.
