**Sensory and Motor Organs.** *Manas* (Mind) now emerges and analyses this manifold into classes and in accordance with their resemblances [*Viśeshaṇa-viśeshya bhāvena vivechayati | samānā samāna-jātīyābhyāṁ vyavachchhindan mano lakshayati* (Commentary to *Kārikā*, 27)]. The *Manas* resolves into order what James calls " the blooming, buzzing confusion ". In it enter not only the sensory experiences but also the impulses that activate the organs of action. It is also possible that the organic sensations which arise from activities have a place in this blend.
