I read the following on the internet: > One perceives 'the world' through the senses - however the senses > themselves are in the world (lokasmiṃ). That does not imply the world > is a state of mind, but that the mind is in the world. Also: > Whatever in the world through which you perceive the world and > **conceive the world** is called the world in the training of the noble > one. (Yena kho, āvuso, lokasmiṃ lokasaññī hoti **lokamānī**) And through what in the world do you perceive the world and > conceive the world? Through the eye in the world you perceive the > world and conceive the world. Through the ear … nose … tongue … body … > mind in the world you perceive the world and conceive the world. - SN > 35.116 Can "the world" only be "perceiving the world" (lokasaññī) without "conceiving the world" (lokamānī)?
