5. Planes and Parts of the Being

Fragment ID: 535

I don’t know that there is any [term corresponding to the subconscient in the traditional books],– this plane was spoken of more as inconscient than subconscient,– it is practically the indiscriminate or jaḍa prakṛti, perhaps – or the seed state. In the Veda it is symbolised by the cave of the Panis. Perhaps by looking through books like the Yoga-vāśiṣṭha one could find something about the subconscient in fact though not in express terms.
