Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 When a camel bends its head, I see a camel bending its head. When a musical note is to be heard, I hear a musical note. When there is a dream to witness, I witness a dream. This 'I' is always characterised by something to see, the seen, and the process of seeing. In the absence of these well-known 3 factors, what happens? When there is nothing to do, I do nothing. Based on the theory of seer-seen identity, 'I' seems to be nothing in this case. Is this the case in deep-sleep? Seems not ! Clearly, there seems more to seer-seen identity...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Namaste! The one who asked this question remains. He is the "seer" of the seer-seeing-seen. Regards.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Namaste! Further to my post earlier today. The exact answer to your doubt was found in an English translatoin of Bhagwan Ramana's teachings at http://home.talkcity.com/GaiaWay/infinite_freedom/forty_path_40.htm QUOTE The duality of subject and object and trinity of seer, sight, and seen can exist only if supported by the One. If one turns inward in search of that One Reality they fall away. Those who see this are those who see Wisdom. They are never in doubt.
