Pratyaksha (Sanskrit: Sanskrit: प्रत्यक्ष IAST: pratyakṣa) literally means that which is perceptible to the eye or visible; in general usage, it refers to being present, present before the eye (i.e. within the range of sight), cognizable by any sense organ, distinct, evident, clear, direct, immediate, explicit, corporeal; it is a pramāṇa, or mode of proof.
[1] The Nyaya school recognizes four kinds of pramana; pratyaksha (perception) is one, along with anumāna (inference), upamāna (comparison), and śabda (verbal testimony).
Pratyaksha refers to the faculties of perception with which are connected thoughts (chinta), imagination (kalpana) and volition (praytna), which four together as chetas illuminate the manas, the ordinary mental equipment of the individual, and give awareness or consciousness (chetna).
Self-consciousness arises when, directed by the tattvas or panchakoshas, raga (attachment), vidya (knowledge), niyati (order of things), kala (time) and kalpa (the elements) along with pleasure and pain become objects of knowledge to chit, the intelligence of the self.
Super normal intuition is gained after removal of impurities cover the intelligent-self through practice of the eight-fold yogic-discipline.
