The Prajna Principle explains the relationship between the object as the image. The Prajna - Shakti (the power of Conscience) teaches that when a person sees his reflection in trough water, the reflection resembles him, but he is not the reflection.

The image is you, but you are not the image. To understand the Prajna - principle, what has to be recognised is that Prajna is present in all constituents of the body and the mind, but under different names as forms. (SSS Vol.25, pp. 213-215)
