| Jan 30, 2019 at 6:37 | comment | added | Spark Sunshine | The third Pramana is Sabda Pramana(knowledge we gain from Vedas and other scriptures learnt from a Guru coming form a bona-fide sampradaya). Sabda Pramana deals with Atman and Brahman. Atman and Brahman can be known neither through Pratyaksha nor through Anumana. Just like you are using mind to speculate for things which cannot be perceived by five senses, similarly for things which cannot be perceived by neither through Pratyaksha nor through Anumana, you have to rely on scriptures (Sabda Pramana) only. | |
| Jan 30, 2019 at 6:33 | comment | added | Spark Sunshine | For things which you perceived directly, there is no need to use the mind and speculate. If you perceived the fire directly, there is no need for speculation. But if you perceive only smoke, but not fire, you need to speculate like I said before, something is burning beyond the tall building or something burnt long ago beyond the tall building (sometimes smoke will come even after the fire was extinguished) | |
| Jan 30, 2019 at 6:29 | comment | added | Spark Sunshine | Second principle Pramana is Anumana. Assumption, doubting and speculation of your mind based upon the Pratyaksha Pramana is called Anumana. For example, you are looking at smoke which is coming out beyond the tall building. Now you are using your mind and thinking that something is burning beyond the tall building, that's why smoke is coming. See, you are using your mind and speculate that something is burning, that's why smoke is coming (there is no smoke without fire). | |
| Jan 30, 2019 at 6:22 | comment | added | Spark Sunshine | You said you can feel the air, any kind of knowledge which can be known through five senses and feelings like sad, love, etc is called as pratyaksha Pramana. You can feel the air through skin, so it is a Pratyaksha pramana. | |
| Jan 30, 2019 at 6:10 | comment | added | Spark Sunshine | In order to realise the taste of sugar, you have no other option to taste it by yourself. Similarly in order to attain Atma Jnana and Brahma Jnana you have to rely on scriptures. | |
| Jan 30, 2019 at 6:08 | comment | added | The Destroyer♦ | @PratikCJoshi because Sugar is material or physical entity. Brahman (or ultimate reality) is beyond mind or senses. So, you can't feel that with senses or other instruments (which are again but senses). | |

| Jan 30, 2019 at 5:45 | comment | added | Pratik Joshi | At least I can taste sugar. You can't experience God | |
| Jan 30, 2019 at 5:38 | comment | added | ram | I have never tasted sugar. Can you prove to me that sugar tastes sweet ? But one condition, you should not force me to eat sugar. You can use any other method to prove to me that sugar tastes sweet. Can you do it ? | |
