Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Advaita Vedanta)The Waking Mind is denoted by the Sanskrit term Jagrat, according to the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣatkārikā 3.29.—Accordingly, while discussing the dream and waking states: “Just as in the case of dreaming, the mind, which is a reflection of duality, is active because of Māyā, so the waking mind (jagrat), which is [also] a reflection of duality, is active because of Māyā”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
