Mind, Intellect And Personality

**Just as electrical energy produces heat, sound or light depending on the
device through which it passes, similarly, the energy of consciousness
functions through three different but closely connected entities, the *mind*,
*intellect* and *personality*.
*The Mind*
With the power of the mind, one imagines, thinks and forms ideas.  The
non-physical mind should not be confused with the heart, the physical organ
that maintains blood circulation.
*
The Intellect*
The intellect understands, reasons, memorizes, discriminates and makes
decisions. The non–physical intellect should not be confused with the
physical brain, which is the physical focus of the nervous system.
*
The Personality *
Habits and sanskaras are all embedded in the soul in the form of impressions
as a result of every action performed. The most fundamental feature of every
soul, its personality, is determined by such stored impressions.
