Antahkarana

In Vedāntic literature, this antaḥkaraṇa (internal organ) is organised into four parts:

  1. Ahaṃkāra (ego) – identifies the Atman (self) with the body as 'I'
  2. Buddhi (intellect) – controls decision making
  3. Manas (mind) – controls sankalpa (will or resolution)
  4. Citta (memory) – deals with remembering and forgetting
