Citta - the sanskrit word for consciousness, which is made up of three factors. The mind (manas), intellect (buddhi) and the ego (ahamkara). The mind has three functions - cognition, conation or volition, and motion.
From "Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali", BKS says, "Mind acquires knowledge objectively, whereas intelligence learns through subjective experience, which becomes wisdom."
I like this quote because it always reminds me to do my practice. I can continue to read...and reread many of the books I have and think I understand it, but not until I gain the realization through experience can I say I have wisdom.
Namaste.
