Namsate Nanada Chandran,

The point that I am trying to drive home is:
Physical plane is a manifestation of Mental plane. Thus in this
context, it amounts to something like: Mind is not contained in
the brain, it is Brain that is a physical manifestation of a
portion of mind. Thus in some sense it is Brain that is contained
in the mind.

Best regards
