             DIRECT PERCETION, INFERENCE, AND COMPETENT EVIDENCE, ARE PROOFS.

                       💫👀💫

                                       WHEN TWO OF OUR PERCEPTIONS DO NOT CONTRADICT EACH OTHER WE CALL IT PROOF. I HEAR SOMETHING, AND, IF IT CONTRADICTS SOMETHING ALREADY PERCEIVED, I BEGIN TO FIGHT IT OUT, AND DO NOT BELIEVE IT. THERE ARE ALSO THREE KINDS OF PROOF. DIRECT PERCEPTION, PRATYAKSHAM, WHATEVER WE SEE AND FEEL, IS PROOF, IF THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING TO DELUDE THE SENSES. I  SEE THE WORLD, THAT IS SUFFICIENT PROOF THAT IT EXISTS. SECONDLY, ANUMANA, IFERENCE, YOU SEE SING, AND FROM THE SIGN YOU COME TO THE THING SIGNIFIED. THIRDLY, APTAVAKYAM, THE DIRECT PERCEPTION OF THE YOGI, OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE TRUTH. WE ARE ALL OF US STRUGGLING TOWARDS KNOWLEDGE, BUT YOU AND I HAVE TO STRUGGLE HARD, AND COME TO KNOWLEDGE THROUGH A LONG TEDIOUS PROCESS OF REASONING, BUT THE YOGI, THE PURE ONE, HAS GONE BEYOND ALL THIS.

                   💫👀💫

                        BEFORE HIS MIND, THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE, ARE ALIKE ONE BOOK FOR HIM TO READ, HE DOES NOT REQUIRE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS TEDIOUS PROCESS, AND HIS WORDS ARE PROOFS, BECAUSE HE SEES KNOWLEDGE IN HIMSELF, HE IS THE OMNISCIENT ONE. THESE, FOR INSTANCE, ARE THE AUTHORS OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURES, THEREFORE THE SCRIPTURES ARE PROOF, AND , IF ANY SUCH PERSONS ARE LIVING NOW, THEIR WORDS WILL BE PROOF. OTHERS PHILOSOPHERS GO INTO LONG DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS APTA, AND THEY SAY, WHAT IS THE PROOF THAT THIS IS TRUTH? THE PROOF IS BECAUSE THEY SEE IT, BECAUSE WHATEVER I SEE IS PROOF, AND WHATEVER YOU SEE IS PROOF, IF IT DOES NOT CONTRADICT ANY PAST KNOWLEDGE.

                       💫👀💫

                                     IF A MAN SAYS "I HAVE SEEN A VISION", AND TELLS ME THAT I HAVE NO RIGHT TO SEE IT, I BELIEVE HIM NOT. EVERYONE MUST HAVE THE POWER TO SEE IT FOR HIMSELF. NO ONE WHO SEELS HIS  KNOWLEDGE IS AN APTA. ALL THESE CONDITIONS MUST BE FULLFILLED. YOU MUST FIRST SEE THAT THE MAN IS PURE, AND THAT HE HAS NO SELFISH MOTIVE, THAT HE HAS NO THIRST FOR GAIN OR FAME. SECONDLY, HE MUST SHOW THAT HE IS SUPER-CONSCIOUS. THIRDLY, HE MUST HAVE GIVEN US SOMETHING THAT WE CANNOT GET FROM OUR SENSES, AND WHICH IS FOR BENEFIT OF THE WORLD. AND WE MUST SEE THAT IT DOES NOT CONTRADICT OTHER TRUTHS, IF IT CONTRADICTS OTHER SCIENTIFIC TRUTHS REJECT IT AT ONCE. FOURTHLY, THE MAN SHOULD NEVER BE SINGULAR, HE SHOULD ONLY REPRESENT WHAT ALL MEN CAN ATTAIN. 

                             THE THREE SORTS OF PROOF, ARE, THEN, DIRECT SENSE PERCEPTION , INFERENCE, AND THE WORDS OF AN APTA. I CANNOT TRANSLATE THIS WORD INTO ENGLISH. IT IS NOT THE WORD INSPIRED, BECAUSE THAT COMES FROM OUTSIDE, WHILE THIS COME FROM HIMSELF. THE LITERAL MEANING IS "ATTAINED".

                     💫👀💫

                        INDISCRIMINATION IS FALSE KNOWLEDGE NOT ESTABLISHED IN REAL NATURE.

                           THE NEXT CLASS OF VRITTIS THAT ARISE IS MISTAKING THE ONE THING FOR ANOTHER, AS A PIEACE OF MOTHER-OF-PEARL IS TAKEN FOR  PIEACEFOR SILVER.

                          VERBAL DELUSION FOLLOWS FROM WORDS HAVING NO (CORRESPONDING) REALITY.

                   💫👀💫

                        THERE IS ANOTHER CLASS OF VRITTIS CALLED VIKALPA. A WORD IS UTTERED, AND WE DO NOT WAIT TO CONSIDER ITS MEANING, WE JUMP TO A CONCLUSION IMMEDIATELY. IT IS THE SIGN OF WEAKNESS OF THE CHITTA. NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE THEORY OF RESTRAINT. THE WEAKER THE MAN THE LESS HE HAS OF RESTRAINT. CONSIDER YOURSELVES ALWAYS IN THAT WAY. WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO BE ANGRY OR MISERABLE, REASON IT OUT, HOW IT IS THAT SOME NEWS THAT HAS COME TO YOU IS THROWING YOUR MIND INTO VRTTIS.

PERCEPTION OF YOUR SIGHT

 

                                  TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

                              TO GET GOOD RESULTS

                                                       TRAINING THE EYE

                               BEFORE THE MEMORY CAN BE STORED WITH SIGHT IMPRESSIONS - BEFORE THE MIND CAN RECOLLECT OR REMEMBER SUCH IMPRESSIONS - THE EYE MUST BE USED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE ATTENTION. WE THINK THAT WE SEE THINGS WHEN WE LOOK AT THEM, BUT IN REALITY WE SEE BUT FEW THINGS, IN THE SENSE OF REGISTERING CLEAR AND DISTINCT IMPRESSIONS OF THEM UPON THE TABLETS OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. WE LOOK AT THEM RATHER THAN SEE THEM.

                           A BODY MAY BE IMAGED ON THE RETINA WITHOUT INSURING PERCEPTION. THERE MUST BE AN EFFORT TO CONCENTRATE THE ATTENTION UPON THE MANY THINGS THAT THE WORLD PRESENTS TO OUR SENSES. A TEACHER ONCE SAID TO THE PUPILS OF A LARGE SCHOOL, ALL OF WHOM HAD SEEN COWS, I SHOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHETHER A COW'S EARS ARE ABOVE, BELOW, BEHIND, OR IN FRONT OF HER HORNS.

                            I WANT ONLY THOSE PUPILS TO RAISE THEIR HANDS WHO ARE SURE ABOUT THE POSITION AND WHO WILL PROMISE TO GIVE A DOLLAR TO CHARITY IF THEY ANSWER WRONG'. ONLY TWO HANDS WERE RAISED. THEIR OWNERS HAD DRAWS COWS AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT HAD BEEN FORCED TO CONCENTRATE THEIR ATTENTION UPON THE ANIMALS. FIFTEEN PUPILS WERE SURE THAT THEY HAD SEEN CATS CLIMB TREES AND DESCEND THEM. THERE WAS UNANIMITY OF OPINION THAT THE CATS WENT UP HEADS FIRST. WHEN ASKED WHETHER THE CATS CAME DOWN HEAD OR TAIL FIRST, THE MAJORITY WAS SURE THAT THE CATS DESCENDED, AS THEY WERE NEVER KNOWN TO DO. ANY ONE WHO HAD EVER HAD EVER NOTICED THE SHAPE OF THE CLAWS OF ANY BEAST OF PREY COULD HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION WITHOUT SEEING AN ACUTAL DESCENT. 

                           FARMER'S BOYS WHO HAVE OFTEN SEEN COWS AND HORSES LIE DOWN AND RISE, ARE SELDOM AND RISE, ARE SELDOM SURE WHETHER THE ANIMALS RISE WITH THEIR FORE OR HIND FEET FIRST, OR WHETHER THE HABIT OF THE HORSE AGREES WITH THAT OF THE COW IN THIS RESPECT. THE ELM TREE HAS ABOUT ITS LEAF A PECULIARITY WHICH ALL OUGHT TO NOTICE THE FIRST TIME THEY SEE IT, AND YET ONLY ABOUT FIVE PER CENT OF A CERTAIN SCHOOL COULD INCORPORATE IN A DRAWING THIS PECULIARITY, ALTHOUGHT IT IS SO EASILY OUTLINED ON PAPER. PERCEPTION, TO ACHIEVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS, MUST SUMMON THE WILL TO ITS AID TO CONCENTRATE THE ATTENTION. ONLY THE SMALLEST PART OF WHAT FALLS UPON OUR SENSES AT ANY TIME IS ACTUALLY PERCEIVED.

                         THE WAY TO TRAIN THE MIND TO RECEIVE CLEAR SIGHT-IMPRESSIONS, AND THEREFORE TO RETAIN THEM IN THE MEMORY IS SIMPLY TO CONCENTRATE THE WILL AND ATTENTION UPON OBJECT OF SIGHT, ENDEAVORING TO SEE THEM PLAINLY AND DISTINCTLY, AND THEN TO PRACTICE RECALLING THE DETAILS OF THE OBJECT SOME TIME AFTERWARD. IT IS ASTONISHING HOW RAPIDLY ONE MAY IMPROVE IN THIS RESPECT BY A LITTLE PRACTICE. AND IT IS AMAZING HOW GREAT A DEGREE OF PROFICIENCY IN THIS PRACTICE ONE MAY ATTAIN IN A SHORT TIME.

                         PERCEPTION, TO ACHIEVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS, MUS SUMMON THE WILL TO ITS AID TO CONCENTRATE THE ATTENTION. ONLY THE SMALLEST PART OF WHAT FALLS UPON OUR SENSES AT ANY TIME IS ACTUALLY PERCEIVED.

                          THE WAY TO TRAIN THE MIND TO RECEIVE CLEAR SIGHT-IMPRESSIONS, AND THEREFORE TO RETAIN THEM IN THE MEMORY IS SIMPLY TO CONCETRATE THE WILL AND ATTENTION UPON OBJECTS OF SIGHT, ENDEAVORING TO SEE THEM PLAINLY AND DISTINCLY, AND THEN TO PRACTICE RECALLING THE DETAILS OF THE OBJECT SOME TIME AFTERWARD.

                            THE DESIRE TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK ADDS AND CREATES AN ARTIFICIAL INTEREST JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS THE NATURAL FEELING. IT IS ALL A MATTER OF ATTENTION, INTEREST (NATURAL OR INDUCED) AND PRACTICE.

                               BY CHANGING YOUR MENTAL FOCUS, BY MEAS OF WILL AND ATTENTION YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CURE YOURSELF OF THE CARELESS METHODS OF SEEING AND OBSERVING THAT HAVE BEEN HINDRANCES TO YOUR SUCCESS. YOU HAVE BEEN BLAMING IT ON YOUR MEMORY, BUT THE FAULS IS WITH YOUR PERCEPTION.

                         IN ORDER TO REMEMBER THE THINGS THAT PASS BEFORE YOUR SIGHT, YOU MUST BEGIN TO SEE WITH YOUR MIND, INSTEAD OF WITH YOUR RETINA. LET TEH IMPRESSION GET BEYOND YOUR RETINA AND INTO YOUR MIND.
