Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The relation of subject and object in perception, according to Vedanta, is
A
Identical
B
Different
C
Contradictory
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vedantic theory of perception says there must have been an action from the object on the subject which produced the reaction. Something must have acted upon you which made you react that way. Idealists ignore this action/ reaction law. For idealists subject acts by itself-for realists objects acts by itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Advaita-Vedantins make a departure from this common usage in their definition of perception. According to Advaitins, perception as a source of knowledge is the instrumen-tal cause of perception as a form of veridical cognition. That is, the sense-organs constitute the instrumental cause of perceptual congnition.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Vedantha philosophy has considered mind as the subtle form of matter where in the body and its components are considered the grossest forms. Consciousness, on the other hand, is considered finer than ‘mind matter’ and is considered all pervasive, omnipresent and omniscient.
