Perception

How amazing it is to see the most ironic thing in this entire creation... PERCEPTION!!!!
This word first of all itself is the most funny... Funny because till you don't realise the humour in it you yourself are busy indulging in it... Mind perceives through the limitations of the 5 senses... Eg. Eyes can only see what can be seen, ears can only listen to what can be heard, tongue can taste and speak only what can be tasted or spoken, Nose can only smell what can be smelled, body can touch only what can be felt... All these senses are limited to the gross... Mind is the faculty which perceives... But the hilarious part is that Mind itself cant perceive another Mind... it can predict another mind but cant perceive it fully... hehehehe... The effort of trying to understand another mind through the limited vision is the most futile... but still most of us do it...
Till a certain level of maturity haven't set in, Its impossible to evaluate the unique individual consciousness... Perception through the 5 senses will definitely lead to misjudgement... Judgement again happens according to how you perceive a person and then the intellect compares it with the database called "Memory" and then decides either "Good" or "Bad" or whatever... Again the funny part is the memory is full of impressions which are gathered by the perception based on the 5 senses!!!! One need to rise above the perception to actually see each and every individual as Vrittis and not just people... As the mind matures one starts seeing the beautiful individual consciousness... and so on the journey begins... More the maturity of the consciousness better the "perception"...
I am not saying that perception is a bad thing or you should not do it... Rather just making you aware that this is how I have observed the pattern of the Mind... Observation, Perception and Expression are the the characteristics of the Consciousness... Letting the judgement go is what seems to be beneficial... the moment you drop it you come back to the Beautiful Present Moment... Where each and every individual is New... This realisation will lead to putting a stop to judgement which are really not necessary... With that stops the accumulation of impressions (KARMA)... You can live more Vibrant, more Pleasant, more Blissfully the Life...

I disagree that observation, perception and expression are the characteristics of consciousness, according to my observation I feel that the consciousness is the witness to all and all it can do is maintain the balance and heal. With our mind we can rest in the consciousness and expand. but then again it can be just my perception :D .

vaibhav,one cant perceives one mind fully how can we understand other mind fully.it all depends on oneself,whatever state one is in, according perceives. The more one goes deeper within one self, understanding expands.dropping of perception automatically happens.and that is my perception hahaha
