In Vedantasara, the Antahkarana is described as the tool through which the individual perceives, thinks, decides, and identifies.
Vedantasara explains that the Antahkarana must be purified and disciplined for spiritual progress.
Vedantasara emphasizes that self-realization (Atma Jnana) requires transcending the Antahkarana.
