Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 The world is but the fivefold sense-objects, which are the results of the five senses. Since the mind perceives the world through the senses, is there a world without the mind? ~~~~~~~~~ S.S. Cohen ~~~~~~~~~ The world is in the form of five-fold senses, like sound, These senses are known through the five sense organs. The mind alone perceives the world through these sense organs Therefore the world is but the mind. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A.R. Natarajan ~~~~~~~~~~~ Through the sensory organs lodged in the five koshas, the senses display before the mind a variety of objects - physical, vital, emotional, mental and intellectual. Apart from the five sense-perceptions, there are all sorts of other internal senses which also arise from the mind, work through the mind, and are understood by the mind - such as the senses of time, of space, of 'I' and 'mine', and the artistic, ethical, religious and spiritual senses for instance. Since all these senses form the world we know and have one common origin, which is the mind, the world cannot therefore be other than that mind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Commentary by S.S.
