From the standpoint of the Soul the innermost Self, there is neither Seer nor the Seen because there is only oneness. The 'Seer' is the Soul, the Self. 'Seen' is the universe. The 'Seer' is hidden by the 'Seen'.
The ‘Seer’ can never be the ‘Seen’. The subject can never become the object. But the most subtle and salient point is that there is no object, ‘the ‘Seen’ at all.
The Soul is The Seer and the dualistic illusion is the Seen. The dualistic illusion appears as the ‘I'. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
In reality, the ‘Seer’ and ‘Seen’ are created out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. There is no duality in reality because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus the consciousness alone is real and eternal the ‘I’ is an illusion
A man who describes Sage Sankara’s wisdom as negative (because of his Neti, Neti) does not know that this is applied only to the world of the Seen; the critic ignorantly believes that it is also applied to the Seer. A Gnani never negates the Seer, only the seen
Whatever is the ‘Seen’ or ‘Known’ is the Soul. The ‘Seer’ or the knower also is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In reality, there is neither the ‘Seer’ nor the ‘Seen’ because the ‘Seer’ and ‘Seen’ are one in essence.
The consciousness alone remains after one gets rid of ignorance. The consciousness is only the ‘Seer’; it is not Brahman that is an error. It becomes Brahman only after ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom.
Remember, the Soul is the Seer and the Seen together.
The Seer is hidden by the Seen. Seen is the world, in which we exist.
The Soul is the Seer of the Seen, which appears and disappears as the ‘I’.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is not limited to you because it pervades in everything and everywhere in the whole world in which you exist.
The Soul is nothing to do with you and the world in which you exist because the world in which you exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul is the whole, not the part because the Soul is the fullness of the consciousness without the division of the form, time, and space.
Your existence is limited to the domain of form, time, and space. It is erroneous to identify the Self within your body thinking the ‘Self is within you and think ‘I AM THAT.
Remember:~
The 'Self' is not you but the 'Self' is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.
The 'Self' is not you but the 'Self' is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.
The existence is neither inside your body nor within the world, in which you exist but it is hidden by the illusory world in which you exist. Thus, your existence is illusory.
Your existence is limited to form, time, and space whereas the Soul is beyond form, time, and space. The nature of the Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. If you hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’ you are limiting the Soul, the ‘Self' to the form, time, and space.
Identifying the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’, is the mother of all confusion. Holding the ‘Self as the ‘I’ or ‘I AM ‘leads to hallucination. Holding the ‘Self’ as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ blocks the realization of ultimate truth or Brahman.
You must first realize the illusory nature of the ‘I’ before you see the world in which you exist as illusory.
The world in which you exist is created out of the Soul, which is the fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of the form, time, and space. The Soul is the existence beyond form, time, and space.
Those who think the ‘Soul’, which is present in the form of the consciousness is within their body are never investigated the truth which is hidden by the form, time, and space.
Remember:~
The Seer and the Seen are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than God because everything is God. God alone is real and all else is merely an illusion.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or the consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
The seeker has to learn to view the worldview from the non-dualistic perspective then only you will be able to have the Soulcentric view of the worldview.
In Advaitic Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though the ego is present, the body is not considered as a body even though the body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of wisdom everything is considered as consciousness. Thus there is conscious oneness.
Only in ignorance, the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self.
The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.
