The identity of the subject and object consciousness adopting the form of external object is known as

  • A.Perception
  • B.Inference
  • C.Scriptural Testimony
  • D.Analogy

Answer: A

The identity of the subject and object consciousness, which takes the form of the external object, is perception, so the answer is A.

In the Advaita Vedanta account, the inner organ goes out through a sense organ to the object and takes on its shape. When the cognition (vrtti) and the object consciousness limited by the object become one with the subject consciousness, the object is directly known. This identity of the three is the definition of perception.

Inference (B), scriptural testimony (C) and analogy (D) all work through a mark, words or a likeness and not by this direct identity of the knower and the known object.
