From the Garland of Gurus Sayings

 

 

Verse 243. No object appears in the Presence of the Real Self, since it is all

burnt to nothing by the fire of Pure Consciousness; the One Self alone remains,

the Unlimited Eye (10) in that Supreme State.

 

(10) The seer is the subject and the thing seen is the object; between them is

the eye. When the eye is the physical one (i.e., the body-mind) the objects seen

are gross forms, because the seer is himself seen as the body, a gross form;

when the mind (alone) is the eye, then both subject and object become subtle,

but still the trinity of seer, object seen, and seeing remains. When the eye is

the Self, then both subject and object merge in Him and no forms, gross or

subtle, are seen; here the eye is not an instrument of vision, but Pure

Consciousness without which no seeing is possible. Since in this State, where

the Self is the Eye, there is nothing to see, nor any individual to

see--therefore, He (the Real Self) is described as the Unlimited Eye.
