To talk about the mind (manas) and the subjectivity according to with Vedãnta's philosophy, implies a series of questions, of which the two most important points are: (i) the mind is considered as a sense’s organ, just like the sight; hearing, touch, smell and taste. (ii) the subjectivity does not imply a notion of subject understood as an individual separate from the Whole (Brahman), one since the principle of subjectivity (ãtman) is the same for all beings, i.e., there is no substantial difference between the alterities, what differentiates one subject from another is the ego (ahaá¹…kãra), which is an insubstantial entity constituted of name and form (nãmarÅ«pa). Therefore, we must focus primarily on these two aspects, in order to clearly understand the vedantin position about the mind and the subjectivity.
