In Sanjnana there is an action of the sense-mind which is superior to the particular action of the senses and is aware of things even without imaging them in forms of sight, sound, contact, but which also as a sort of subordinate operation, subordinate but necessary to completeness of presentation, does image in these forms. There is in it a vaster action which is not limited by the action of the physical sense-organs; it is this which senses everything perfectly. There is also associated with it a corresponding vaster action of Prajnana, Ajnana and Vijnana that are not limited by the smaller apprehensive and comprehensive faculties of the external mind. It is this vaster Prajnana which perceives the proper relation of the words to each other, perception that is inherent in the right reproduction of the words. The Ajnana or Knowledge-Will originating all these actions is also vaster, not limited by the faltering force that governs the operations directed by the surface mind. The action of the vaster Vijnana is evidently there working through them and ensuring their co-ordination. We have nothing of the sort in The Lives of Sri Aurobindo which is what makes it a farce.
