'अन्नं ब्रह्म'

त्रिधारिता / त्रिग्रथिता
अयमात्मा ब्रह्म 
Another Triad.

This is part 2 of the previous post.
The Physical body is but a well-organised (organic) composition of matter where the Consciousness comes into expression from the latent state inherent. The Consciousness is NOT the result or consequence of the organic structure of the body, but IS the awareness that emerges, distinguishes and discriminates between the body and the world around it. Though the essential core elements that the body and the world are made of are the same, the manifest consciousness in the body assumes the form of a separate entity, other than the world.
The body is essentially the food it consumes and the consciousness is never feeble or strong, but there is this sense of being that gets translated into 'being' an entity. This entity is the Mind. This Mind, the compact of senses external to the body, viz. touch, smell, sight, taste and sound further ramifies and develops into the inner / internal senses of the kind that is of the form of perception, articulation and memory of the experiences gained through the external senses.
Mind is therefore the subtle result of the food consumed by the body.
This food is not only the material-like we intake, eat or drink.
Whatever is grasped by and through the senses is also called 'food' 'अन्नं ब्रह्म'.
This strengthens and forms the structure of the Mind (in each and every individual).
The Consciousness that is associated with the body in the seed form is very much akin to nature, while as and when the same is associated with the Mind, the faculties of Mind gradually develop and the feelings at the level of mind come into existence. The repetition of feelings gets translated into 'pleasant' or 'unpleasant', even disagreeable experience(s). Feelings take the form of memory, stored there-in and the responses of memory are the 'emotions' and the 'sentiments'.
The Consciousness that is basically 'awareness' only, and is totally identified with the body only, gradually assumes identification with the objects that form and compose the Mind. The Mind that has a constantly changing form and pattern, has no support of its own and is body at one end while the consciousness at the another.
The one end, the Physical body is but the material aspect of the Mind, while the consciousness is the  awareness-aspect of the same. Both these two aspects utterly lack in them the sense of 'me' / 'I' yet the Mind assumes such an identity non-existent.
Consciousness transcends the body and the Mind comes into being.
Consciousness transcends the Mind and is itself is revealed as the Awareness.
Awareness is devoid of 'me' or 'I'-sense, and that is the fact, the Mind can grasp / understand never.
