According to *Swami Sarvapriyananda*, the fact that everything is *Jada* (insentient/object of experience) and *Mithya* (lacking independent existence) does not invalidate the study or utility of the world (08:37-08:41). He explains this through several key points:
* **Functional Reality:** The classification of something as an "appearance" does not mean it is non-existent in a practical, day-to-day sense. Within the realm of appearances, objects remain consistent and reliable (08:41-08:50).
* **The Virtual Reality Analogy:** *Swami* compares this to a **virtual reality** or a **dream**. Just as you can interact with objects in a dream—and they behave according to the rules of that dream—you can interact with the physical world through science and technology (08:46-09:01).
* **Consistency in Appearances:** Because our experience within this world is consistent, technology and science work perfectly well (08:57-09:01). The laws of nature, while *Mithya* from the highest standpoint, remain the operational rules for the world of experience (08:57-09:03).
