HOW
TO TELL A BLIND PERSON ABOUT COLOURS OTHER THAN BLACK?
After
obtaining a satisfactory answer on how to describe an elephant to a blind
person from my ex-classmate, who is an eye specialist, I then raise another
question as follow:-
How to tell blind people about colours?
The
answer from him sounds solid and valid to me.
“Black
and other colours arise as a result of differentiation by our sense organs. And
our sense organ differentiate objects according to the way it configures so
human eyes can perceive only light of a certain wavelength whereas other
organisms has eyes that can see different spectrums of light. So, an object may
appear different to the human eye compare to eyes of other organism. So what
appears black to us may appear to be other colour to other organs. And because
the mind is constantly bombarded by infinite information from our sense organs,
we forget the real nature of the mind and regards the sensual world as real.
When a person is in deep prayer or meditation, the surreal/tranquil state that
arises is due to disconnection of the mind from the sensory input. That’s the
real nature of the mind: complete and perfect.
In
short there is no black or white….only emptiness. Our mind has been tricked..
Hope
I have not confuse you guys.
