Jnana Darsanam—Vision of Wisdom

Verse - 6


यत्सान्निध्यादेव सर्वं भासते स्वयमेव तत् ।

प्रत्यक्षज्ञानमिति चापरोक्षमिति लक्ष्यते ॥ ६ ॥


By the nearness of which the totality shines forth by itself, then this

Is thus perceptible wisdom and is marked out as non-invisible.


Sree Narayana Guru

Commentary


In the Pramana Lakshana Madhvacharya says, "Perception is what the senses when not faulty bring near at hand." What is perceived must come within the purview of the senses. What shines forth is the entire objective world, which is non-invisible, and which is perceived. The sage describes perceptible wisdom as non-invisible. This form of wisdom is also limited and conditioned because it belongs only to the senses which themselves are limited.
