Beware of the delusions induced by the senses
The outward representations in all cases, if reasoned, need not exactly identify themselves with the true objective stand. As for instance, our impression of a star is much more augmented when we are conversant with the coaching of an adept of astronomy or when scientific methods predominate over our erroneous convictions. The deceptive outward manifestations are not necessarily to be accepted when such delusions are detected by our true activity. The seeming reasons often carry us to a wrong direction and we are not favored with the Truth and seeming truths are found to be efficacious in particular circumstances with a susceptibility of transformation.
