How to understand perception?

Q) How to understand perception?

A) Check always from where a perception or a feeling is coming, and always it will be there just as only a thought. The moment we let go the thought all feelings and perceptions vanish and we can see clearly the eternal Truth that has been waiting for us to recognise and to become aware of its eternal presence.
