Overlaying the Pranamaya kosha is the Manomaya kosha. Mind, though commonly used, is a poor translation of [[Manas (मनः)|Manas]] as it connotes only the volitional and perceptual faculties of the mind which drives the Pranamaya kosha. The mind (manas) along with the five subtle sense organs of knowledge (Jnanendriyas) is said to constitute the manomaya kosa. It is the level of processing thoughts and emotions. It is in direct control of the operation, through the prana, of the physical body and senses. The ''manomaya kosa'', or mind-sheath reflects the  psychological self of a person whereas the ''annamaya kosa'' and ''pranamaya kosha'' make up the physical or empirical visible body.<ref name=":05">http://sivanandaonline.org/public_html/?cmd=displaysection&section_id=748</ref> Manas is the important constituent of the [[Antahkarana Chatushtaya (अन्तःकरणचतुष्टयम्)|Antahkarana]] the other three being [[Chitta (चित्तम्)|chitta]], [[Buddhi (बुद्धिः)|buddhi]] and Ahamkara.

This Kosha is the cause of ''I'' and ''mine'' reflecting the I-sense. Upon illumination by the Atman on the Antahkarana, the self sense originates as Aham and attaches to the mind-body complex. Thus Aham is associated with the Jiva as the function of the mind or mental apparatus called Antahkarana. The function is known as Ahamkara. Man generally says: I think. I fancy. I am in grief. I am deluded. I am hot-tempered. I am the enjoyer, I am a sickly person. I am the desirer. I am the seer, the taster, the smeller, toucher. I am a deaf person. I am a blind man, and so on. Here the functions of the Manomaya Kosha are falsely attributed to the Atman. Mind is associated with the Vrittis, viz., lust, anger, greed, etc. It has no steadiness. So it is a Vikari. Atman is changeless (Nirvikara) and silent witness. Hence Atman is distinct from the Manomaya Kosha.<ref name=":0" />

The fifth sheath is the Anandamaya Kosha. This is the most interior of the koshas, and is the first of the koshas surrounding the Atman. This blissful sheath is a reflection of the Atman which is truth, beauty, bliss absolute. In deep sleep, when the mind and senses cease functioning, it still stands between the finite world and the self.<ref name=":1" />
