The sea was never blue

[sanatanadharma]

1. Sensory impressions are similar for all, words and labels change

Since words and labels are the means by which we see, view, understand our world, obviously the worlds differ as languages do.

If the great saints of India only see Brahman (think 'one colorlessness'), that does not mean that the tree has disappeared from their view. It does mean they are color-blind.

One sees water color, another sees water molecules, while a third sees atoms of oxygen and hydrogen, but it is all just "quarkie" says the scientist, while the saint seeks the subtle behind the reason for all.
