How beautiful is that?
You take outside of you as your world.
You say that you see the outside world.
What help does this outside world give you to see the outside world?
Since the world means solids , fluids , air,
Does outside world provide you solids to see the outside world ?
Does outside world provide you a liquid to see outside world ?
Does outside world provide you an air to see its vision ?
None of this is needed in case of vision and that is Science. But, it was said that the world means solid, liquid, gas is the Science. Then, how do you see\discover solid, liquid & air in a world that does not come for a vision ? If the world parts are not in a vision, how do you say that “The world is seen”? Thus, if there is no solid, liquid and air involvement in vision or visual process, how do you and Science say that there is something called solid liquid gas in the world? If you don’t want even a single content in a world to see a world, its then something that is made up of something else devoid of solids , fluids & gasses. If you don’t want even a single content for a world for a world vision purpose, then how do you say you see the world outside of you?
Since vision does not need solids from outside of you vision does not contain solids. Since vision does not require a liquid from outside the world, vision does not contain liquids. Since vision does not require air from outside of you, vision does not contain gases.
If So, how do you call your outside world has solids , fluids , gasses ?
See ! Even if you say that you see the world, your visible world has nothing compared to the outside world.
What is this ?
What is this dilemma ?
If So, what do you and Science see as a world? Is there no world? If there is no world, where do we live?
If nothing of the outside world comes to be seen, how can you say that “I see the world outside of me” ? if nothing of the outside comes to be seen, If so, no one will be able to see anything. But there is something for everyone to see.
Look ! Only the “light”, not the solids, fluids & gasses, that comes to you from outside is Science. Only the light comes from the so-called outside world for you to see a world. Light is the only factor that stands for the identity of the outside world. You can only take the light from outside. See ! Then you call something “solid” for something that is made up of light, the eye, and the brain. You call something that is made up of light, the eye, and the brain “fluid.” You call “air” for something that is made up of light, the eye, and the brain. If you say that solid, liquid and air are the three in a world, these 3 are only the mentions in case of a vision. If that is so, then the world is not placed outside of you but is a product of you. Just a collection of three MENTIONS (Solid, fluid, air) brought to you as the world.
See Abhidharma’s explanation 2567 years ago.
Only the “arrammana” man receives from outside lust like light receives from outside. In that case, just like light in Science, Arammana, eye and the Mind (not the brain) forms the visible world. Then, the Aarammana is the only external factor that stands for the identity of the outside world. Therefore, what is made by the Aarammana, the eye and the Mind, you call “solid”. Aarammana , the eye and the Mind, you call “fluid”. Aarammana, the eye and the Mind, you call “Air” just like light , eye, brain produce visible solids, fluids & air. If that’s the case, the world you see is just a collection of three internal mentions. It is your own product within you.
The world and the universe are a form of the Mind and that is Abhidharma.
The world and the universe are only a concept in Mind and that is Abhidharma.
