Direct perception
This is called pratyaksa or direct sensual perception. Being to certain extents conditioned by the physical experience of life, we do not have a direct perception of consciousness. Rather we are bound to look upon everything as a kind of physical phenomena. We can only perceive the gross reality by smelling, tasting, seeing, touching and hearing about the same qualities of the manifested world. Thus we can never adopt an impartial vision about faith and the soul in terms of relevance. We are confined and imprisoned by the shackles of our senses. We can understand this by using the example of the eye. Our eye can not see things which are very far away. At the same time it can not see things, which are very close, like the eye lids. In other words there is only a certain spectrum of experience and this is very limited and gross. Therefore faith, soul, creator, etc. can be considered by some people as fabrications of the human mind.
