How I discovered the Awareness watching Awareness method.

Hello All,

Sri Sadananda wrote:- read my mail again - it starts 'since one sees ..' we are

bringing the causes to account what we see. And I also used the

Upanishad quote ' maayantu prakRitim vidyaat' - know that maaya is

prakRiti - and maaya is that which is not there but appears to be there."

 

Interpreting what you say, correct me if I'm wrong -

'We are bringing the causes to account what we see.' means we are accounting

for what we see in a causal way. Does that mean (a) what we experience is the

result of the interaction between an object out there, really out there and our

particular make up (without perceptual infra-red/ultra-violet) or

(b) (and this moves closer to Benjamin) the object is something that we infer

as the cause of our experience. One could say that the object has migrated

from the mind to some space in between.

 

Perhaps this is all a bit subtle. In any case it would be informative to

detail where in the thought of Sankara, in B.S.B. or Upadesa Sahasri which I

have in English where I could study this for myself.

 

Best Wishes, Michael.
