As a Hindu, would you not agree that within your religious tradition there are highly developed and deliberate practices for sorting out the veracity of subjective experiences? It seems to me that first-person experience with the Divine has an immediacy that is every bit as real and as rational as interpretations of third-person phenomena. The tools may be different but no less empirical. Anyone could in theory practice the required austerities and confirm for themselves the reality of the Divine. The fact that not all people do is no different from the fact that not all people practice the scientific disciplines necessary to confirm natural theories. And I would also note that those so-called objective findings are ultimately mediated by minds in the first person.
