what is a mind
An understanding of the clear light mind therefore becomes crucial in the context of spiritual endeavor. In general, the mind can be defined as an entity that has the nature of mere experience, that is, clarity and knowing.. It is the knowing nature, or agency, that is called mind, and this is non-material. But within the category of mind there are also gross levels, such as our sensory perceptions, which cannot function or even come into being without depending on physical organs like our senses.
