Having shown that our bodily condition and circumstances depend on Karma, while Karma depends on perception and will, the sage recognizes the fact that from this may be drawn the false deduction that material things are in no wise different from states of mind. HAVING SHOWN THAT OUR BODILY CONDITION AND CIRCUMSTANCES DEPEND ON KARMA WHILE KARMA DEPENDS ON PERCEPTION AND WILL THE SAGE RECOGNIZES THE FACT THAT FROM THIS MAY BE DRAWN THE FALSE DEDUCTION THAT MATERIAL THINGS ARE IN NO WISE DIFFERENT FROM STATES OF MIND
us vibrations within the compass of the retina and the optic nerve. Vibrations below or above that compass make no impression at all, and the object remains invisible; as, for example, a kettle of boiling water in a dark room, though the kettle is sending forth heat vibrations closely akin to light. So, when the vibrations of the object and those of the perceptive power are in the same phase, the external manifestation of the object takes place. There seems to be a further suggestion that the appearance of an object in the “present,” or its remaining hid in the “past,” or “future,” is likewise a question of phase, and, just as the range of vibrations perceived might be increased by the development of finer senses, so the perception of things past, and things to come, may be easy from a higher point of view. 15. The paths of material things and of states of consciousness are distinct, as is manifest from the fact that the same object may produce different impressions in different minds. DS FORTH LUMINIFEROUS VIBRATIONS WITHIN THE COMPASS OF THE RETINA AND THE OPTIC NERVE VIBRATIONS BELOW OR ABOVE THAT COMPASS MAKE NO IMPRESSION AT ALL AND THE OBJECT REMAINS INVISIBLE AS FOR EXAMPLE A KETTLE OF BOILING WATER IN A DARK ROOM THOUGH THE KETTLE IS SENDING FORTH HEAT VIBRATIONS CLOSELY AKIN TO LIGHT SO WHEN THE VIBRATIONS OF THE OBJECT AND THOSE OF THE PERCEPTIVE POWER ARE IN THE SAME PHASE THE EXTERNAL MANIFESTATION OF THE OBJECT TAKES PLACE THERE SEEMS TO BE A FURTHER SUGGESTION THAT THE APPEARANCE OF AN OBJECT IN THE PRESENT OR ITS REMAINING HIDDEN A PAST OR FUTURE IS LIKEWISE A QUESTION OF PHASE AND JUST AS THE RANGE OF VIBRATIONS PERCEIVED MIGHT BE INCREASED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINER SENSES SO THE PERCEPTION OF THINGS PAST AND THINGS TO COME MAY BE EASY FROM A HIGHER POINT OF VIEW SUTRA FIFTEEN THE PATHS OF MATERIAL THINGS AND OF STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS ARE DISTINCT AS IS MANIFEST FROM THE FACT THAT THE SAME OBJECT MAY PRODUCE DIFFERENT IMPRESSIONS IN DIFFERENT MINDS
