How can I know that what I am perceiving is the truth? Sometimes my senses give me information that is not true at all.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Questioning one's own perception is a very good strategy, but not always because knowledge is structured in the consciousness. If you are dull then your perception also becomes dull. See in the morning as soon as you wake up, your perceptual ability is very sharp. When you meditate, after that, your perception becomes very sharp. But if you are worried and tensed, if you have not had good sleep, or you are preoccupied, your perception is completely shrouded.
