Does a floating bamboo stick divide the Ganga?

Yes. For an ant next to the bamboo stick it does. But is its perception anywhere close to reality? It is not. Consider that we as human beings are also stuck with many such perceptions which are nowhere close to reality. This article deals with how we are limited by such perceptions when it comes to understanding our real nature and gives a technique to inquire into it.

Test of Perception

Perception lives when it is not questioned too much. If you question it, it will melt down like a dream. The so-called falling in love, the moment you question it, 'Is it authentic?', straightaway you will see, it lands on just the skin, and skin colour. It is not even skin deep. Perception, the moment you question, dissolves, disappears.
