Adi Shankara
Discrimination between the Seer and the Seen
Traditional attribution
Discrimination between the Seer and the Seen
दृग्दृश्यविवेक (Dṛg-dṛśya-viveka)
A treatise of forty-six stanzas applying a single method: whatever is perceived is an object and cannot be the subject. From the eye to the mind and from the mind to the witness, the text traces back to the consciousness that sees without being seen, then describes forms of concentration (samādhi) to stabilise that recognition.
