Today we are all considering that what we see with our own eyes, , is the only thing we can accept as True. Anything that we do not directly see, we are not willing to accept as authentic. In the development of such a belief and in insisting on wanting to see everything before we can accept it, there are several pitfalls. Accepting as evidence only the things that you can see or hear or taste or you can generally experience through your senses of perception is a very dangerous thing. The fact that you will not be able to reach unhesitatingly the truth in this manner has been established and has been explained to you in a very nice manner when the philosophy was expounded to you. The have taken as the sole authority. This cannot be proper evidence. This is because a situation will come when our five sense perceptions will not be so healthy as they are at the moment. They can acquire ill health. A situation can come by which these sense organs can change. How can we, under such circumstances, say that whatever experiences you get through these sense organs, which will change and which can be unhealthy, are sure to be true? To give a sweet to a person who is suffering from malaria, and ask him to put it into his mouth, furnishes a small example. He thinks that it is bitter because of his malaria fever, and he will proclaim that the sweet that you have given him is bitter. Is this true? However much he may argue and quote the as his authority, it cannot be the truth. He will go on saying, I have tasted it, it is bitter. He can go on arguing, but simply the basis for the illusion is in him. It is the fever that is in him. The fault is not in the sweet. It is only when you are able to remove all the fault in him, which in this case is the fever in him, the sweet will taste as sweet, as really it is.
