Sri Sri Babathakur explains very lucidly that to do anything in mundane life, at first, an idea has to be conceived in the doer's mind. Then the idea have to be translated in word and action in order to materialize it. For example, when one makes a house, at first the very idea of making the house must come to one's mind. Without any idea of making a house at all in the maker's mind it is impossible to make a house. What so ever has ever been done in this phenomenal world first took its root in the mind of the doer. This is the function of the mind part of the whole mind or mana. Now, if we analyze the sense of doer ship of the doer, we would see that it is nothing but the ego part of the mind or mana or antakarana taken as a whole. Ego, He says is nothing but the shadow of the bodhaswaroop or absolute self on the bodhaswaroop or absolute self, itself. After conceiving the idea the mana or mind part of the antakarana or inner instrument requires help from buddhi or the intelect part of antakarana or the mind as a whole. As it is seen earlier that the mana or the mind part cannot ascertain for itself, its unique character is resolution and doubt only. For judging acceptability of the concept mana or the mind part must take help of the intellect or buddhi part of the antakarana or inner instrument or mind as a whole. Only and only after getting clearance from intelect or buddhi mana or the mind part can ascertain i.e. come to a judgement or conclusion finally. Lastly, the experience of the whole process right from the conception of the idea by the mind or mana, then by identifying its doer ahamkar or the ego and the judgement or ascertainment about it materialization by buddhi or the intelect remains stored or saved in chitta or the mind stuff part of antakarana or the mind as a whole.
This is in a nut shell how antakarana or mind functions in and through all four of its chambers and as a whole according to Swasamvedya Tattvabettapurush Sri Sri Babathakur.
