Chapter-12. THEORY OF PERCEPTION : 3.

1.THE VIEW OF WESTERN MEDICAL SCIENCE


According to western medical science, light-vibrations from outside strike the retina and an inverted image is formed there.

These vibrations are carred through optic tract and optic thalamus to the centre of vision in the occipital lobe of the brain in the back part of the head.

There, a positive image is formed.

Then only, you see the object in front of you.

Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================= Satyameva jayate, is a great motto with which you are all familiar. And what is this Satyam, the Truth? Satyatvam badha rahityam said a great master. That which is 'uncontradictable', is the Truth, and if 'Truth alone triumphs', it is another way of saying that the 'Uncontradictable' alone triumphs. My dear friends, can I put you a question?
