..:8. The objects that appear in the Vijnana are different from their knowledge, because they are knowable like the different chains of Vijñana.
Uddyotokardi 9. The external objects exist, because they are reflected in the Vijnana just as you see your face in the glass. It is obvious that the rays of the eyes returned by the glass see the face behind. If there be no face, how can this phenomenon be proved!
Refutation,
: 1. The objective world is not real except the Vijñana. Owing to the different tendencies of the mind many Vijñanas are rising one after another with the forms of the different objects. Soma may have, for instance, the reflection of two moons, and to some the conch seems yellow. You cannot prove these Vijnanas to be true by pointing out the second moon and the yellow conch. These Vijõånas have no corresponding objects, but they are Vijñanas all the same. We can therefore justify that even without external objects Vijñana is possible. Then why should you not go a step further, and acknowledge that all Vijñanas are produced without reference to an outward object?
- 2. With regard to the question as to whether the external objects are crowds of atoms or a constructed whole, it may be pointed out that if the objects are nothing but the collections of atoms, then why are they regarded as one and of considerable size, though they are produced by a collection of atoms? It cannot be wrong knowledge in the same way as the Vijñana of sound as eternal is wrong. The momentariness of everything being established, we can say that the Vijñana of sound as eternal is wrong; when the objective world is not established, how can you say that this Vijñåna of the atoms as one and of considerable risa in pat wrong?
