The seer behind the seeing
The one who sees, hears, tastes, smells and experiences the sense of touch is the seer and not the body. That seer is pure and does not go through any modifications. It has only the power to see. But the seeing happens not alone, but through the mind and the intellect. The seer is the Purusha who is like the light in a bulb. The lesser the dust and dirt on the bulb, the better the light shines. The dust and dirt are our thoughts that modify the passage of consciousness by its mere presence. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
