How Yogis perceive self



Question on Quora

When saints or yogis see their own selves in everything and everyone that their eyes can see, is it their own 'aura' that they actually see?

Imagine yourself being a mirror.

Now the mirror sees in itself what others see themselves in it. Correct. This happens when we are seeing things and other persons in a mirror then becoming the mirror.

So also with consciousness. When we ‘become of the nature of consciousness' we 'do not see anything apart from that consciousness / see everything as part of the same consciousness'.

That happens at event of emancipation.

  1. According to Patanjali to know oneself one needs to go back in time to one's adulthood, childhood and finally to one's birth as a human with uniquely physiological and physical characteristics which are in fact accidental and we consider them to be ours.

  2. In order to realease oneself either one should see oneself everywhere or see one's GURU everywhere. This AWASTHA is called as VIDEHI AWASTHA. Srinivas Limaye.

  3. In this way when one sees oneself to be a unique one in a crowd not because you are so but because of the unique circumstances you went through and the unique responses you afforded from time to time on account of the unique physiological characteristics you accidentally acquired at birth one will start seeing every other human in the same way.
