VIPARYA IS WRONG KNOWLEDGE
The second cause of the thought waves in our mind-chitta, is VIPARYA. This is not ethically or morally wrong knowledge or inference. But it is different than what the things are. The standard example is that of a rope looking like snake in dark or the light pole looking like ghost. So there is a pole but due to decreased visibility in darkness, it appears to be a ghost . So when the light is bright and adequate, we can see the pole and the ghost disappears. Now the wrong knowledge can be either painful or not painful.If we think that we are seeing a ghost or a snake it will cause the fear and it is painful. But in case of sky , looking blue, it causes pleasure as the color blue is pleasing to the eyes. So even though the sky is not blue , so the inference or the knowledge is ;wrong;, it is not painful.
