The world is made up of objects.
It is inert. In the waking sense,
the senses cognise all these objects.
But the senses are also inert.
The eyes that see, the ears that hear,
the tongue that speaks and the nose that smells -
all of them are inert.
In fact, the entire body is inert.
But all these inert objects are able
to function because of the presence of consciousness
in the mind. Thus we have to realise that
the entire phenomenal universe is inert.
