प्रत्यक्षानुमानागमाः प्रमाणानि ||1.07||
True Knowledge consists of Sensory perception, inference, and knowledge from the scriptures.
विप्रययो मिथ्यज्ञान्मतद्रुपप्रतिष्टं ||1.08||
False knowledge is based on understanding not corresponding to reality.
Perceived by the mortal senses five,
Else with roots in knowledge past,
Gospel from the Ancients,
Seen with the detachment of a Sage’s Eye,
These be the forms of Knowledge True.
These very same, through darkened vision,
Understanding clouded by the passions five ,
Herein the seeds of false Knowledge lie.

our experiences can be interpreted in 2 ways .... one through a dispassionate eye takeing in all facts and that would be true knowledge now when we let our emotions take over our interpretation of the incedent becomes clouded and our understanding becomes false ?
ReplyDeleteWhat is seen is always reality. The distortions are brought in by the interpretative mechanism which interprets through the veil of emotions, passions, past experience etc.
ReplyDeleteDevoid of this veil, reality is perceived.
