MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 12-3.

Chapter-12. THEORY OF PERCEPTION : 3.

The interaction between the mind inside and the Tanmatric vibrations outside is the object or the world that you see outside.

This is one theory of perception.

Mind is formed out of the Sattvic portion of the five Tanmatras.

There is light outside.

The sun also emits light.

The eye is made up of fire or Agni-Tattva.

That portion of the mind which perceives is also made up of Agni-Tattva.

So fire sees fire.

Only that portion of the mind which is made up of Sabda-Tanmatra can hear.

Sound comes from Akasa outside.

So Akasa of the mind hears Akasa from outside.

But, Atman can see, hear, taste and feel everything.

Atman only can be seen by Atman.

Therefore, whatever you see outside is Atman only.

“Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma—Everything is verily Brahman.”
