PROVING EXISTENCE OF GOD BY DIRECT-EVIDENCE
Actually, when we perceive a thing through our senses, we comprehend certain qualities of that thing. Our ‘मन’ gives knowledge of that thing by clubbing all the perceptions of our different sense organs. Let us try to understand this through an example. Suppose, we catch hold of a screaming bird. Our eyes provide us knowledge about certain qualities like dimensions, colour et cetra of its different organs, ears provide us knowledge about certain qualities of its sound and touch provide us knowledge about certain qualities like softness, hardness et cetra. Our ‘मन’ then, combines all this knowledge about different attributes and adds up its own experiences like living or non-living, quantum of pain et cetra and then yields knowledge about that particular bird as its final conclusion. In short, we can say that in direct-evidence method, we comprehend qualities or attributes of a thing and not the thing itself. Similarly, by perceiving design, intelligence and other attributes of God in this universe, we perceive God also.
