MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 12-5.1



Chapter-12. THEORY OF PERCEPTION : 5-1.

5. THE VEDANTIC THEORY-1.

According to the Advaitic theory of perception, it is the Chaitanya within us that makes perception possible.

The Chetana within us unites with the Chetana in the object and the result is perception.

It does not follow from this that the mind and the senses are useless.

The senses are necessary for the adaptation of perception to their approximate things.

From the soul’s essential nature being intelligence, it does not follow that the senses are useless, for they serve the purpose of determining the special object of each sense.

The Vedantic theory of perception is that the mind.


The Vedantic theory of perception is that the mind comes out through the eye and assumes the shape of the object outside.

The Antahkarana-Vritti enters through the opening of the Indriya (eye), removes Vishaya Ajnana, assumes Vishayakara (the shape and form of the object it
envelops), presents the objects to your view.

The function of Vritti is to cause Avarana-Bhanga (removal of the veil or layer of Sthula Avidya that envelops all objects).
