Object Is Not Dependent On One Mind, Because If It Were So, Then What Will Happen When It Is Not Cognised By That Mind.
Taimni
Nor is an object dependent on one mind. What would become of it when not cognized by that mind?
Sw. Satchidananda
Nor does an object’s existence depend upon a single mind, for if it did, what would become of that object when that mind did not perceive it?
Bryant
An object is not dependent on a single mind [for its existence]; if it were, then what happens to it when it is not perceived [by that particular mind]?
