I find it interesting to think that the lens of a camera has no perception. That the world is made up of light and energy which our mind interprets into shapes and matter. I like to believe that the camera will record the world how it truely is and not how we can only percieve it to be.
The Upanishads tell us that there is a Reality underlying life which rituals cannot reach, next to which the things we see and touch in everyday life are shadows. They teach that this Reality is the essence of every created thing, and the same reality is our real Self, so that each of us is one with the power that created and sustains the universe.
