Panchadashi 1.40

With discrimination of the subtle body alone, the vital force, the mental and intellectual sheaths are also discriminated. This is because, due to the variety of the state of the gunaas, these sheaths appear as if different than that subtle body.

The vital force, mental and intellectual sheaths are all incorporated into the subtle body. When this subtle body has been discriminated, these three afore-mentioned sheaths automatically are discriminated away from the self. It is only due to the differences in the states of the gunaas known as sattva and rajas that makes these three sheaths appear different from the subtle body, but in reality there is no difference.
