What it means
Your awareness is like light in a room: it shows everything but can't be pointed at as an object. You are not what you see; you are the one who sees.हिंदी में अर्थ
वह स्वयं सब कुछ देखता है, पर उसे कोई नहीं देख सकता। वह बुद्धि आदि को चेतना देता है, पर वे उसे प्रकाशित नहीं कर सकते।
आपकी चेतना कमरे की रोशनी जैसी है, वह सब दिखाती है पर उसे वस्तु की तरह नहीं दिखाया जा सकता। आप वह नहीं जो देखते हैं, आप देखने वाले हैं।
Spoken by Adi Shankaracharya.
