इन्द्रियाणि पराण्याहुरिन्द्रियेभ्यः परं मनः | मनसस्तु परा बुद्धिर्यो बुद्धेः परतस्तु सः

他们说感官（比粗糙的身体）优越；心识比感官优越；但理智比心识优越。然而，比理智更优越的是祂（真我）。
They say that the organs are superior (to the gross body); the mind is superior to the organs; but the intellect is superior to the mind. However, the one who is superior to the intellect is He.
与粗糙、外在、有限的物质身体相比，感官无疑更优越，因为它们更精微、内在且活动范围更广。心识比感官优越，因为感官若无心识的帮助，便无法独立运作。心识能执行五种感官的功能。理智比心识优越，因为它具有辨别能力。当心识处于疑惑状态时，理智会前来帮助。真我，即见证者，甚至比理智更优越，因为理智的光芒源自真我。
When compared with the physical body which is gross? external and limited? the senses are certainly superior as they are more subtle? internal and have a wider range of activity. The mind is superior to the senses? as the senses cannot do anything independently without the help of the mind. The mind can perform the functions of the five senses. The intellect is superior to the mind because it is endowed with the faculty of discrimination. When the mind is in a state of doubt? the intellect comes to its resuce. The Self? the Witness? is superior even to the intellect? as the intellect borrows its light from the Self.
