Another cognising mind being assumed, there will be no end to such assumptions, and confusion of memory will be the result.
In plain words: If we said a second mind watches the first mind, we would need a third to watch the second, and so on forever. Memory would make no sense then. So the watcher must be the Self, not another mind.
Let us suppose there is another mind which cognises the ordinary mind, then there will have to be still another to cognise the former, and so there will be no end to it. It will result in confusion of memory, there will be no storehouse of memory.
Namaste.
