Answer 2

searching for spirits
am only an observer and not the observed. The observer is a witness.

The witnessed is me but not the real ‘I’. Suffering exists in me and not in the real ‘I’. This is an important enquiry in Indian philosophy. The body is witnessed… so the witnessor is different from the witnessed. The mind is observed and the observer is different from the observed. Feelings are observed and the observer is the real ‘I’. So who am I? I am only an observer and to observe I must be consciousness, the awareness. This awareness has no form. If it were to have a form, it can be observed and anything that is observed is an object of perception. The subject is the real ‘I’. So the real ‘I’ has no form and hence it is formless. That which is formless cannot be destroyed. Hence, Indian mystics say the self is indestructible. This has to be experienced and can not be intellectually grasped.

• Sit in a quiet place. Just observe your thoughts. Let thoughts come and go, but don’t get identified with them. Just be a witness
• Now look for gaps between thoughts. You will see the gaps between thoughts as silence. The observer of silence becomes silence. You cannot observe silence from a noisy state. As you observe the gaps, initial thoughts may be so many that you cannot see the gaps. Soon thoughts will slow down. Then you will see gaps and experience silence
• Next observe your breath. Be conscious of every inhalation and exhalation
• Your thoughts will further slow down. See and experience the warmth of air you inhale and exhale
• Observe how inhalation turns into exhalation and exhalation turns into inhalation
• Now just become silent… without words. Experience stillness. In silence alone, true communication opens up
