One can explain/describe about sweetness of sugarcane, but the experience is person. Similarly Vedas describe about the various aspects of Brahman, and it is up to every individual to seek that experience to be revealed to him. Abrahmic concepts rest on belief, whereas the Vedic paths rest on experience. The mantras stood the test of time and experience of sadhakas and are not just a belief system. So essentially they are not an imposition of the persons mind but can be personally verified.   &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;adding content&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;You say parikshanam. It means viewing something constantly to ascertain for yourself, not verify, to ascertain for yourself. Whether what you see or hear is true or not. The word verifiability is another form of veracity, it comes from Latin roots.  Now in Indian philosophy since the time of systematization of vedanta, we have come to accept 'prathyaksha,' that is physical verifiability and then inference anumana and then shabda pramana, that is a Vedic text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now from the point of view of the Western philosophers sabda pramana is discounted, if it is textual kind of teaching then it becomes dogma, you can't question what is use of dogma what is the use of anumana? I will simply end this. The vedic text are also a form of Pratyaksha,  but of higher sober physical verifiability. Music for example music is not verifiable in terms of your physical ears. if it is good music if it appeals to you you delight on the bliss that you get out of it, you simply not very verifiable. Your experience has to be tallied with experience only. Not textbook of logic and this and that. and therefore prathyaksha if the speciality of into thought sanatan Dharma is that we are ideal to the basic Vedic text is it infallible, unquestionable they can only be understood they can only be rationalized they can only be tallied with other ones, but you cannot throw away, you cannot throw them away. Show that is the distinction of sanatan Dharma, the vedic text. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So denying the Vedas is supposed to be one of the seven great sins, sapta patakas, Veda dushanam. if you don't agree you have to prove that some other experience is superior.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experience to experience not word for word, and therefore logic is subsidiary to experience.  Shabda pramana any other kind of pramana if it is experience, experience is non questionable.  Even you have, even whitehead Western philosophers says, to deny experience there is nothing nothing nothing. Experience is data.  philosophy is starts withthe data, assembly of data even physical science scholars may say, your physical science, where do you verify an experiment in the laboratory you assemble the data put a hypothesis put it in experiment and that you have it if you question the data nothing will come out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Off you play test match in some state, you can't question why there should be a player, there will be a player. If you want to enjoy, if you don't want don't enjoy don't go to the green room and examine whether this boy acted in this way and that way, data is not to be question, arrangement can be questioned.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
