In this world, belief is built on the basis of multitude of senses. We trust the existence of an object because we see,feel,hear,smell it.We feel smoothness,roughness,we see brightness,darkness, we hear sweetness,harshness because of our senses and we believe them,
Suppose we are in a maze. We see it,feel it,smell it and even hear tiny noises from its crevasses and hence we consider it true.Our senses are too much drowned by the description of this huge maze, that we can't thing of anything bigger than this maze.The description by the various senses send impulses to the brain which make the brain perceive an object.
Multitude of sensory perceptions obscure (mystify) reality. It is like a traffic jam with its infinitesimal noises,fumes and actions which makes it impossible to see beyond the sudden happening.
It is like a dense forest. It is said that in the thickest part of a rain forest, it is pitch dark even at noon time.But we take it as it comes and doesn't feel it even minutely necessary to brush aside the leaves of the trees to see what time of the day it is or to let the golden rays in.
The very feeling of the necessity to part the leaves and to see what lies beyond arises from the understanding of the fact that the perception of the surrounding is not real or true.
In fact , you render the absence of an object,say the maze,if all the senses report no description of it. That happens when you shut out the senses to it. As a result you are able to think bigger than the maze or if in the case of the forest, to look beyond the trees. Like wise you perceive nothing of the traffic jam but senses the peaceful destiny.
In fact, we rushes about in a hurry not knowing that we go around in circles. That way, we are no better than the ants which traverse the same path thousand times a day.Even this hurry obscures reality ,going blindly by the routine.
The multitude of senses depicts a world of illusion in the light of falsehood,naming it the absolute reality.
God has a natural way to reckon us to truth or reality. He has set a biological clock to shut off the senses. That happens at the very old age when the ears grow feeble , the eyes ware off, the bones fumble and the head gets that perfect crown of glory. With the senses bolted , you can tune in perfectly to the reality or truth. Same could be the case with infants where there would not be much coordination of senses. Hence they have a perfect grasp of reality.
Still in the ages in between if truth recons,perception can go blind !
