Swami Krishnananda. ====================================================================================== It is the operation of the Jiva's mental functions that is the cause of the same person being designated as father, brother, husband, nephew, friend, enemy, and the like.

Syāt pañcī kṛta bhūtottho dehaḥ sthūlo'nnasaṁ jñākaḥ, liṅge tu rājasai prāṅaiḥ prāṅaḥ karmen indriyaiḥ saha (34).  In the beginning of his commentary on the Brahmasutra, Acharya Sankara makes a statement.
