a very old known statement that mind shows what we are opt to but not what we should.... is what i want to discus... anything related to your senses is governed by our brain, thus are we really assuming correct what we see and think????
my answer to it will be no!!! its not always the same way. we look at the things the way we wish not the way they are!! if somehow you can control your mind to say that its night standing right below the sun at noon.. you will be convinced for the same for sure. but for a person standing with you, you will be a dumb man... its just an weird example. but what i mean to say is you should be not fooled by your own self.... try to look for the things which are for real. a very old proverb every shining thing is not a diamond!!!!
i might be wrong but i believe i am right, its my perception! is it for real??? check it out yourself!!! just practice this, look at a star and look for a star just above it, below it and on both sides. and if you are not able to see, look through mine there are infinite number of stars!!!
