Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Mahaa* = great and *manah* = mind. Vishnu's mind (*Mahat* at the cosmic level) is the cosmic intelligence — the first great principle that evolved from the interaction of His *shakti* with primordial nature. All individual minds are fragments of this one *Mahat-Manas* of Vishnu. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Sankhya philosophy identifies *Mahat* (the cosmic intellect/mind) as the first great evolution from the *Avyakta* (unmanifest). Vishnu as Mahamanah is the divine intelligence behind this cosmic mind — the cosmic *Buddhi* that is characterized by perfect clarity, infinite scope, and perfect discrimination (*Viveka*). The human aspiration to "expand the mind" through education, meditation, and wisdom is ultimately an aspiration to partake in Vishnu's Mahamanah — to transcend the petty, fear-driven ego-mind and enter the expansive, compassionate divine mind. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana's descriptions of Brahma's cosmic creative intelligence — by which he conceives and creates the entire universe — is a reflection of Vishnu's Mahamanah. The sage-poets (*Rishis*) who composed the Vedas were instruments through which Vishnu's Mahamanah expressed itself in the form of eternal wisdom.
