Vrhaspatitattva
The individual soul, produced when Śivatattva is stained by mala, whose fate (mokṣa, heaven, hell, animal or human birth) is governed by the citta.
The *citta* (mind-stuff) is the cause of the soul experiencing heaven.
The *citta* of *sattva*, *rajas*, and *tamas* is what binds the holy *ātmā*.
The mind that is upright and firm, it advances and knows the distinctions between things and proper conduct.
San Hyan Tattvajnana
The self or soul principle, appearing in multiple states and grades from coarse embodied consciousness to the subtle transcendent Ātmāviśeṣa.
Now they are said to be the *ātmā*, equally of lowest, middle, and highest grades in their attainment of awareness and wisdom.
Because the lowest, middle, and highest grades are the characteristics of the Divine *Ātmā* that pervades human birth.
The *ātmā* called the Divine *Pramāṇa* and the Divine *Ātmāviśeṣa* exist only in the *turyya* state.
