Sunilji - PraNAms
Just for your information. Shree Chandramouliji is well-read person and I have learned a lot from him through his contributions to the Advaital list. You may not be familiar with his contributions. 
The question he posed based on your statement is correct.  I also agree with his assessment. 

The question concerns not about the meaning of manah and that it is part of anthahkarana. 

The question focuses on the Jnaani. Your statement appears to imply that Jnaani after abiding in the knowledge will not have a mind or something like that.
Question - Did Krishna have the mind to teach Arjuna or not? 
Our understanding is that Jnaani uses his body, mind and intellect for loka kalyanam - BMI will be there until praarabda gets exhausted. The Lord will maintain the BMI to insure that those who are seeking knowledge will have an opportunity to learn. 
After seeing your mail, thought I should respond.
Hari Om!Sadananda

 Mr. Chandramouli,

It will nice if you please don't hesitate to tell me a bit about your
background, as I am wondering why you are not being able to understand the
very simple meaning of the sanskrit word *"Manah.* Understanding what is
*Manah* is very crucial for understanding *Sankhya*, which was  taught by
the *Sage Kapila, an avatara of Lord Vishnu*. The *Manah* is a part of
our *Subtle
Body or Sukshma shareera*, and it is the* Mahah*, which makes us interact
with the Vyavaharika world.  That is why the concept of *Manah-shunya*
concept is so very important.

If you can't agree with my view, we can surely  agree to disagree.

Sincerely,
skb
