[Advaita-l] Jaati in Advaita

[Dev Babu]

Hairh Om
PranAms Sadananda ji
With my limited vocabularies,
 I still see
Cognition as a mental perception - chitta vritti  from internal source
called memory
Recognition also as a mental perception - chitta vritti from external
source of senses (seeing, touching, hearing, smelling and tasting)

Harih Om
