Becausewhat would become of (objects) if (they are) not cognised by thatmind?NOTESlf an object were dependent upon the mind, then in casethe mind were restrained or attending to some other object, theobject would not be touched thereby, nor would it come into objectiverelationship with any other mind. It would not be cognisedby any other mind. Will it cease to exist at the time? Orcoming into relationship again with the mind whence would itcome back to life? Whence is the object produced? lf from theperceiving agent, whether it is one mind that produces the objector many? lf one, the existence of an object thought of in amoment preceding the thought of another object, cannot bepossible. This is not the case; because even when my mindhas stopped to think of an object, it is quite possible for themind of Mr. Johnson or Mr. Alfred to think of the very same objectat any subsequenttime. I can also recognise the very sameobjectwhen I again think of the same object. Therefore, objectscannot be said to be the result of the cognising agent. Furtherthe parts of an object which are not in contact with the mindwould not exist. Thus there would be no back, and how couldthen there be the front itself? For this reason, the object isself-dependent and common to all the Purushas. Mind also isself-dependent. Mind comes into relationship with the purusha.Perception is attained by its contact with the Purusha.
