207. Manonmanī
Mana means mind. Unmana means beyond the mind. Thus the combination Manonmanī is the union of opposites of mind and beyond it. This name is a classic example in Lalitā Sahasranāma. Very rarely do we find a contrary view being expressed in the same name. How can something be mind and no mind also. Answer: “It will be if it is a union of mind and no mind.”
Manonmanī is a Goddess standing with Her feet at the Ājñā center and head in the Sahasrāra. At the Ājñā center, the seer, the seen and the act of seeing are all separate. At the Brahmarandra, they are the same. This explains the position of Manonmanī. She is considered to be a Goddess having a very beautiful form.
