Eyes don't see, Ears don't listen
In the vast expanse of our existence, there is a profound mystery that lies within us. It is a realm untouched by the limitations of our physical senses. We are often caught in the illusion that it is our eyes that see, our ears that listen, and our hands that touch. But what if I told you that there is a deeper, more profound observer within us, an entity that transcends the mere physicality of our senses?
The eyes, in all their complexity, are but instruments. They capture light and transmit signals to the brain, where the real act of 'seeing' takes place. The ears, similarly, are channels for sound to enter our consciousness, but it is our minds that truly 'listen.' And as for touch, it's not just the fingertips; it's the entire being that perceives the sensation.
Consider the paradox of a blind person with perfectly functional eyes or a deaf person with fully intact ears. They have the physical tools for perception, yet something crucial is missing. It's the inner self, the ultimate observer, the conscious awareness that truly 'sees' and 'listens.' It's the essence of our being that experiences the world in its most profound sense.
In the depths of your consciousness, there exists a silent observer, an entity beyond the limitations of the physical world. This observer is not bound by the five senses. It is the ultimate enjoyer, the silent witness to all your experiences, joys, and sorrows. It's the one who sees the world from a perspective that transcends the boundaries of the body.
This observer is not limited by time or space. It dwells in the eternal now, witnessing the ever-changing dance of life. It's the source of true contentment, for it doesn't rely on external circumstances for happiness. This inner self is the key to understanding the profound truth that we are not just physical beings but spiritual entities having a human experience.
So, who is this ultimate enjoyer inside you? It is the essence of your being, the silent observer, the consciousness that transcends the physical senses. To truly connect with this inner self, one must venture beyond the noise of the external world and into the silence within. Through meditation, self-reflection, and mindfulness, we can begin to uncover the depth of this internal observer and experience a profound sense of unity with the universe.
In the journey of life, let us not be mere slaves to our senses but explorers of our inner selves. As KesariSir would say, "Teaching is not just about imparting knowledge; it's about guiding others to discover the hidden wisdom within." In a similar vein, understanding our true selves goes beyond the surface; it delves into the depths of our consciousness, where the ultimate enjoyer resides.
So, my fellow seekers, take a moment to pause, go within, and discover the one who truly sees, listens, touches, and speaks – the ultimate enjoyer, your inner self. Embrace this profound connection, and you'll find the key to a more meaningful and spiritual existence.
