Significance of Sensory perception
Sensory perception is understood differently across various philosophies. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is the process of interpreting sensory information, primarily through vision, highlighting its limitations even for superior knowledge. Vaishnavism emphasizes experiences derived from senses through the material body. Yoga sees sensory input as crucial to understanding reality. Vyakarana focuses on observations related to the five senses processed by the brain. In Vedanta, sensory perception allows living beings to experience the world and acknowledges divine perception of the Brahman.
