'Why do thoughts of many objects arise in the mind even when there is no contact with external objects?'
All such thoughts are due to latent tendencies (purva samskaras). They appear only to the individual consciousness (jiva) which has forgotten its real nature and become externalised. Whenever particular things are perceived, the enquiry ‘Who is it that sees them?’ should be made; they will then disappear at once.
('Spiritual Instruction': II.10)
