“Notes on the Figures” (p. 528)
This figure is based on versions in TTL/FF p. 69; TTL p. 69; TLD/DF: 1-7-26, p. 3; TLD/FF: 1-7-26, p. 3; and ChD 57: pp. 62 and 63. “The Combined Diary,” while it furnishes no diagram, does list the five elements in the constitution of the self, thus: “1. Mind 2. Intellect 3. Ego 4. Subtle 5. Gross” (ComD 1: f. 286). This last ordering of elements—whereby “mind” heads the list and “ego” comes third—contradicts all the other sources; in all other treatments of this topic, in this period and later, Baba represents ahaṅkār or “egoism” as a deeper layer in the constitution of the false self than manas or “mind.” This detail in the account in “The Combined Diary” seems erroneous, then; but elsewhere the entry for that date (1st July 1926, ComD 1: ff. 286–87) provides an illuminating and relevant discussion, which the editors and artist have taken note of.
