Can you please simplify this: A subjective transformation alone is needed for 'realization'. When one who has realized the Truth looks at the world, conceding the existence of the world, he finds that every object asserts one's own self or consciousness, without which the object could never appear. Perceptions are liable to mistakes regarding the object perceived; for example the stump of a tree is mistaken fora man. But regarding yourself, the I, there can never be any mistaking whatsoever. ChatGPT: To truly understand the world, you need to change the way you see things from your own point of view. When someone realizes the truth, they see that every object in the world is a part of their own consciousness. This means that without their consciousness, the object wouldn't exist. Sometimes, people make mistakes when perceiving things in the world. For example, they might mistake a stump for a person. However, when it comes to understanding yourself, there can never be any mistakes because you are always aware of your own existence. #Chat-GPT [[Shri Atmanada Krishnamenon]] [[Spiritual Discourses]] 17
