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

Can "the world" only be "perceiving the world" (lokasaññī) without "conceiving the world" (lokamānī)?
