View source for Citta

'''Citta''' (devanāgarī: चित्त) is a [[Sanskrit]] word that means derived from the root ''cit'', "to be conscious". Chitta is frequently regarded as "the mind-stuff" beings the store-house of memory. Since the [[saṃskāra]] or impressions of actions are imbedded there, it is seen as the subconscious mind. In [[Hinduism]] it is one of the four parts that form the [[antahkarana]] (the "inner organ"), the other three being [[manas]] (the mind), [[buddhi]] (the intellect), and [[ahamkāra]] (the ego).
