      Yes mind is necessary for atma jnanam. It is with the mind that you get the knowledge, aham brahma asmi, I am Brahman. The guru gives the upadesha, tat tvam asi, that paramatma you are and that instruction must be understood by the student as I am that paramatma, Brahman. In order to understand all that, one requires a fit mind. That thought I am Brahman is also maintained in meditation and that is done in the mind. When that meditation is done constantly and for a long time, that thought gets subtler and subtler, thinner and thinner and finally the meditator merges with the meditated, Brahman. The thought disappears. At that stage the mind is not there, nor is it necessary.
