THE PROCESS OF PERCEPTION OF REALITY

Meher Baba

 
The process of perception of reality runs parallel with the process of creation, and the reversing of the process of perception without obliterating consciousness amounts to realizing the nothingness of the universe.

The soul sees first through the mind, then through the subtle eye, and lastly through the physical eye; and it is vaster than all it can perceive.

All the soul perceives is finite; but the soul is infinite. When the soul retains full consciousness and yet sees nothing, it has crossed the universe of its own creation and has taken the first step to know itself as all.
