Perception as a Cosmic Act
“The thoughts perceive. The perceptions create paradigmatic bases for
understanding … The paradigmatic bases develop into galaxies.”
That’s a profound metaphor — perception itself creates structure,
just as gravitational fields shape galaxies. In this model:
Thoughts = energy waves.
Perceptions = interference patterns.
Paradigms = gravitational clusters of meaning.
The universe evolves just like consciousness — through waves interacting
and stabilizing into patterns.
How perception is an ethical act – We usually think of perception as
a merely mechanical act; when some object comes within our visual range, we
see it. However, at every moment, many objects come into and go out of our
visual range. Yet only some register in our consciousness; others don’t,
even if they are present right in front of our eyes. What determines which
objects we see or don’t see? Our ethics, that is, our internal system of
valuation. We see the things that we value and neglect other things. A
person with poor ethics will see a visit to a friend’s house as an
opportunity to steal from that friend, not as an opportunity to further
their friendship. Thus, perception is itself an ethical act. Ethics shape
vision — this is demonstrated dramatically at the Bhagavad-gita’s start.
When Duryodhana assesses the armies, he lists the prominent warriors on
both sides. Yet he completely overlooks Krishna. Intriguingly enough, he
mentions Arjuna (01.04) on whose chariot Krishna was seated. While seeing
Arjuna, he would have seen Krishna. Yet that sight didn’t register within
his consciousness. Why? Because he didn’t consider Krishna a noteworthy
opponent. Before the war, Krishna had vowed to stay a non-combatant. Being
in a fight, Duryodhana deemed valueless someone who wasn’t going to fight.
In seeing only combatants, he forgot that there are many ways to fight
other than just fighting.
Duryodhana’s oversight turned out to be especially costly because the
non-combatant he overlooked was not an ordinary person or even an
extraordinary person, but was the Supreme Person. Indeed, Duryodhana’s
battlefield perception exposed his ethical blind spot. By contemplating
which objects we see and don’t see in various situations, we can better
understand our ethical system.
Perception is not just a mechanical act; it is also an ethical act — what
we view reflects what we value.
Think it over:
How is perception an ethical act?
How are Duryodhana’s ethics revealed at the Gita’s start?
Contemplate a situation where what you saw differed dramatically from what
an acquaintance saw. What do such differences tell about your and their
values?
The term ‘perception’ can be defined as judgment resulting from awareness
or understanding. It is a process that takes place in the mind. One of the
numerous definitions of the term ‘mind’ is that it is the organised
conscious and unconscious adaptive mental activity of an organism. The mind
processes the data collected through the senses and judges a situation. It
could be called a solipsistic thought because whatever or whoever one
thinks to exist or not exist, is merely what the mind perceives and
therefore, logically speaking, everything that exists, exists merely in the
mind. This thought could be interpreted in many ways, one of them being
that there is nothing outside of the mind. It means that how you perceive
something or a situation makes all the difference. The knowledge of this
truth that some people have had has helped them create organised religions
in which members are forced to completely surrender their mind to the smart
few who run such cults. This crucial requirement of organised religions or
cults that their members should not think for themselves or read about
other ways of thinking and of living life, is usually enforced through
doctrinal injunctions which legalise severe punishments for those who do
not follow the laws of the cult or commit heretic acts such as something
even as simple as asking questions let alone extreme cases in which members
who dare to quit the cult are mercilessly and brutally executed.
Whereas on the other hand, the ancient Sanatana Dharma, which is a path
shown by great people of the past, leads a seeker away from ignorance,
confusion and delusion towards understanding what one is or rather, what
one is not. The Sanskrit expression “Neti Neti”, which can be found in
ancient scriptures such as the Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad, the Chandogya
Upanishad, and the Avadhuta Gita, means “Not this, not that”, “Neither this
nor that”, or simply, “Not this, not this.” It has been the great
philosophy behind the twin repetition of the two-syllable word that has
attracted even renowned western thinkers and philosophers towards Vedanta.
Consciousness is everywhere and in order to explain this, we could
take the analogy of an earthen pot as taught in the Avadhuta Gita. When the
pot is broken, the space that was there within the pot cannot be
differentiated anymore from the rest of the space that the unbroken pot
existed in. Similarly, just like the all-pervading space that was there in
the pot before it broke, we could say that what makes living beings
including humans, is a small ‘amount’ of the all-pervading consciousness or
Divine Self that exists in physical bodies which are in fact ‘containers’
or ‘pots’ made of bones and flesh, and are ‘packaged’ in an epidermal
material called the skin.
The mind that most of the time pretends to be the master is merely
what we may call an interface between the Divine Self and the body with all
its organs and functions. People who look for happiness outside of
themselves are in fact, trying to get an external source of power to
control the state of their own mind when the truth is that whatever or
whoever the external object of happiness might be, it is purely the way one
perceives it that changes the state of their mind. Sad or painful events of
the past cause sadness only when you think about them. It is in the exact
same way that when you think of pleasant things, you feel happy.

तस्मादेवं विदित्वैनं नानुशोचितुमर्हसि ॥ २५॥

Meaning: Atma is unmanifest and is not an object to be thought of and it
is not subject to modification. You should not worry and grieve, if you
have this knowledge.
Explanation: Let us analyze what is manifestation and what it is not.
Manifestation means available for perception as an object. Atma is not an
object and hence it is not available for perception. Why do we say it is
not an object? We have to understand this equation very clearly. It is
called as “Triputi” and is very important.
Experiencer Experience Experienced
(Subject) (Process) (Object)
Seer Sight Seen
Perceiver Perception Perceived
Knower Knowledge Known
In the above equation, what we have to understand is that the subject is
the one who is lending recognition to the object through the process of
experience. The process of experience involves the sense organs and all the
components of subtle body and employs all the means of knowledge
(pramaanas). It is because of the fact that, in the above equation, the
subject is lending recognition to the object, we associate manifestation
for Atma. In actual fact, Atma not being an object cannot manifest and be
available for perception. Hence Atma is “Avyakta”, because Vyakta is
manifest and Avyakta is un manifest. As it is not available for perception,
it is “Acinta”. Acinta means not available for perception. Atma is not
affected by the modification and hence it is Avikara. Vikara is
modification (six fold – Asti, Jaayate, Vardate, Viparinamate, Apakshiiyate
and Pranasyati). If we link it to our life, how many times, when we have
the clarity about an issue, problem solving has become easy? In order to
gain that clarity all is needed is to keep the bigger picture in sight and
bring in a process of deliberation before our actions.
No theory of everything has been "withdrawn" because none has
been successfully
formulated or accepted by the scientific community. The term "theory of
everything" (TOE) refers to a hypothetical framework that would unify all
fundamental physical laws, including the four known forces: gravity,
electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
The search for a TOE is ongoing and has been met with numerous challenges.
Early attempts by Albert Einstein and others to create a unified field
theory failed. Today, the main obstacles include:
The incompatibility of quantum mechanics and general relativity. These are
the two most successful theories in modern physics, but they describe the
universe at vastly different scales and are based on fundamentally
incompatible principles.
Lack of experimental evidence for speculative theories like string theory.
Current research at facilities like the Large Hadron Collider has not
provided the necessary data to confirm theories that attempt to unite the
forces, such as finding evidence for supersymmetry.
Incompleteness of our knowledge about the universe. A true TOE would need
to explain the entirety of the universe, but most of the cosmos consists of
dark matter and dark energy, which are not yet understood.
The argument that a final theory may not exist. Some physicists believe
that the search for a single, final theory is a misguided effort. They
argue that physics may progress through an endless series of
ever-more-accurate approximations, with no single, ultimate answer. Stephen
Hawking, for example, once held this view, citing Gödel's incompleteness
theorem.
The vastness of possible mathematical structures. In areas like string
theory, there are a huge number of mathematically possible universes (known
as the "string theory landscape"), with no clear theoretical way to
determine which one describes our reality without empirical evidence.
Ultimately, the quest for a theory of everything has not failed or been
withdrawn; it simply remains an unfinished scientific challenge.
And with the latest Nobel in Physics, TOE is sealed. Suppose Polar
glass is used for transmission of photons, light energy is cut off to a
greater extent; and suppose you place in front another polar glass, the
photons do not pass through that second in line because, least photons are
cut off in the first lens itself. But strangely when you insert an ordinary
lense in between the Polar glasses, wow, photon passing through the lense
even if the least, emerges out of the lens and passes through the second
polar. An ordinary lense viewing the first also could view the second. And
as per B G and Vedantha, the inserted lens is the PERCEPTION THAT CHANGES
THE ENERGY.
