Re: Right Knowledge or proof

Throughout the Orient most schools of thought consider correct view, valid
proof or pramanas (in Skt.) important. They vary on the number chosen. For
example the Yoga school of Patanjali gives (I, 7) three ways. 1) Sensory
perception; 2) Inference; and 3) Authority.

The latter in particular must make many modern yokels squirm.

Fare Thee Well,
