"CHAITHANYAM WITHIN"

1. We find in Kenopanisad that the instrument of eye, in itself, is not competent to see the external objects.


2. If the eyes were to see of their own accord, then if you were to pluck out  your eyes and place them on the table they should be able to continue seeing things by themselves; this you know is absurd. 


3. Again, a dead man whose eyes are intact, even though he is starting on with open eyes, you, from your practical knowledge of life, know for certain that the open eyes of the dead see nothing.


4. From the above it is amply clear that the human eye is only an instrument to see and that it is to be used by a Seer ( Chaithanyam ) within.
