Acharya Prashant addresses the relationship between the subject and the object, explaining it through different states of consciousness. The lowest state is superstition or belief, where the subject sees an object and certifies its existence based on their own perception. The subject then builds stories and imaginations around this perception, holding them as absolute truth without any investigation or need for proof. For example, the subject sees water and not only confirms its existence but also creates fanciful stories about it, such as it coming from fire or having medicinal properties, and places absolute certainty in these stories. The next higher state of consciousness is the scientific one. It is similar to superstition in that it also begins with the subject's perception of an object and accepts the object's existence as an absolute, unquestionable fact. The scientist, like the superstitious person, takes their own sensual experience as the final proof of the world's existence. However, science is vastly superior to superstition because it does not allow the subject's fancies to run wild. Any claim about the object is subjected to rigorous experimentation, verification, and falsification. Science dismisses all subjective stories and imaginations, except for one fundamental bias: the belief that the world and the self (the subject) truly exist. Science never questions the observer itself. Then comes the highest state of consciousness, which is faith. Faith questions everything, including the subject. It does not take the subject as an absolute. The faithful mind looks at the entire game of duality, the subject-object relationship, and sees it as a game where everything is relative and nothing is fully trustworthy. Faith is not about placing trust in a special object called the absolute; it is about seeing that anything you might use as an anchor is itself anchorless. Therefore, the truly trustworthy is not something objective or universal. Truth is not an objective fact but the process of seeing through the false. Faith is about not placing unrealistic hopes on anything in the phenomenal world, including oneself. It is objectless and subjectless.
