Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 (15) Saakshee -Witness. In every day life he is a witness who without any mental reservation or personal interest observes and watches what is happening in a given field of experience. " Saakshaad Drashtari Saakshee syaad-Amarakosa. " The `Knower' in every bosom is the same Supreme Self " , says Lord Krishna (Geeta Ch. 13, St. 3). Though thus Consciousness illumines everything, It is only a Witness, as It knows no change. Just as the sun illumines every thing in the world and yet the Sun is not affected by the condition of the things it is illumining, so too Vishnu, the Supreme, illumines all, without Itself undergoing any change. According to Paanini Sutras the word Saakshee is derived from " Sa +akshi " , meaning " direct perceiver " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
