Seeing

Observe an object, for instance, a candle. See the candle. See what is seeing the candle. Drop away the candle. What is left is that you are seeing or observing what is seeing the candle. In other words, you are aware of being aware. This is true self- remembering or self-awareness avoiding the trap of illusory self-remembering.”  -Sri Madhava Ashish

"There is such a way, open to all, on every level, in every walk of life. Everybody is aware of himself. The deepening and broadening of self-awareness is the royal way. Call it mindfulness, or witnessing, or just attention - it is for all. None is unripe for it and none can fail. But of course, you must not be merely alert. Your mindfulness must include the mind also. Witnessing is primarily awareness of consciousness and its movements." -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
