Therefore, realistic perception is fundamentally discriminative power to know the difference between any two objects or things. Illusion, prejudice, ignorance, attachment and aversion and misconception are nothing, but wrong process of identification of objects or things. It lacks precision and accuracy to identify uniqueness of objects. It defiles the true nature of Reality. Rational thinking or realistic perception is based on pragmatic identification of Reality.
