Drig Drishya Viveka

Sangati:

Drig drishya viveka is a journey from Self-perception to Self-reality. To awaken to the reality of the Self the Acharya is taking us on a journey of discrimination between the ‘Seer’ and the ‘Seen’ that is the ‘Drishta’ and the ‘drishya’. In the first shloka of this journey the Revered Acharya gave us an outline of the three levels of the Seer and the Seen. The first one , where the sense organs are the perceiver and the various forms of roopa, rasa, gandha are objects of perception. Although there are five sense-organs and their respective objects of perception the Acharya has taken up the example of the chakshu. At the second level the mind is the perceiver and the sense organs are objects of perception and at the third level the sakshi is the perceiver and the mind is the object of perception. Now from the second shloka onwards the Acharya takes up the Seer at the level of the sense organs-the chakshu, wherein He explains one fundamental principle between the Seer and the Seen and that is the seer is always one and changeless, whereas all objects of perception are multiple and changeable.
