We

generally consider Pratyaksha Pramaana (proof of direct perception) as

the most important type of evidence. We are able to see our body. Thus

we know that it exists. Anumaana or inference is another form of proof.

We see smoke on the top of a distant hill. We infer from the smoke that

there must be a fire on that hill. Although we see only the smoke, we

infer that there is fire.. To infer the existence of the 'unseen' from

the presence of what is 'seen' is Anumaana Pramaana (inferential

proof). But, these methods of determining facts are applicable only to

the external universe. For determining the Divine Principle, we must

depend only on the Shabdha Pramaana (proof of the words) of the Vedas.
