Yogic perception
Description:
Considered by some to be the highest excellence of human perception (Jayanta Bhatta), this is the perception of subtle, hidden, remote, past and future objects. The practice of meditation gives the mind of the yogi immediate knowledge of all knowable objects unattainable to those whose minds are impure due to taints of love, hatred and so on. Pure minds, free from all taints and one-pointed through constant concentration see all objects in all places simultaneously through a single cognition. This differs from divine perception in that, unlike divine perception, it is not eternal. Also, God's knowledge is natural and not acquired since he is the creator of the Vedas and promulgator of moral law.There are two kinds of yogic perception: ecstatic (yukta) and nonecstatic (viyukta).
