SELF- WITNESS TO ALL

The self is the witness, all pervading, perfect, non-dual, free, consciousness, action less, unattached, desire less and quiet. Through delusion it seems to be absorbed in the world.

In other words the self is not a part of that which it illumines. Just like the rope pervades the illusion of the snake, similarly the self pervades this dualistic material world and universe.

The self is complete. Nothing can be added to it and nothing can be reduced from it just like nothing is added to the post when it is visualized as a ghost.

The self is non dual and ever free.

As consciousness it is complete in itself.

And it is also action less though it is the substratum of all the material actions.

The self is desire less and unattached just like the space which holds the universe is unattached to the universe.

In its supreme perfection the self has nothing ot desire except itself.

As there are no desires hence there are no thought agitations and so the self is ever quiet.

As the perceiver feeler thinker entity the individualized ego gets entrapped in the happenings of this dualistic material world.

And driven by these desires the individualistic ego gets entrapped in the vicious circle of births and deaths.

However just like the rope does not become a snake, a post does not become a ghost, the self does not become the individualized ego.
