The Seer and the Seen

🕉️ The Seer and the Seen:

Realizing Divine Unity Through the Bhagavad Gita

📖 A Timeless Revelation from the Gita

Hidden within the sacred verses of the Bhagavad Gita lies a vision that transcends religion, geography, and era. In Chapter 18, Sloka 20, Lord Krishna declares:

“That knowledge by which one undivided, imperishable reality is seen in all diverse beings—know that knowledge to be sattvic, pure.”

This is not just philosophy — it is a profound invitation to see through the illusion of division, to recognize that behind every name and form, there is but One eternal presence.

This truth is the beating heart of Sanatana Dharma, and its realization is the key to inner peace and global harmony.

🌌 The Infinite Consciousness: The Seer Behind All Forms

Before time began, before the first form appeared, there was only the Seer — Maha Chaitanya, the Infinite, Intelligent, All-pervading Consciousness. Silent and self-luminous, it witnessed without division, containing within it the seed of all potential.

Then, through the divine power of Māyā, this Supreme Being willed to see itself. Not out of need, but from freedom — a Divine Play (Līlā) arose. The One appeared as two: the Seer and the Seen.

But this division was never real.

• The Seen is not other than the Seer.
• The creation is not separate from the Creator.
• The formless became form. The indivisible appeared divided. What we call the universe is God reflecting upon Himself, playing through infinite expressions.

✨ Everything is Divine. Nothing is Outside.

Once this vision awakens, reality transforms. The world no longer appears as a battlefield of separate egos, but as a living, breathing manifestation of the One Divine Being.

• The dust beneath your feet,
• The bird in flight,
• The child laughing,
• The star exploding light-years away—
  All are movements in the same cosmic breath.
  

As the Gita further declares in Chapter 18, Sloka 61:

“The Supreme Lord resides in the hearts of all beings, directing their wanderings through His divine power, as if mounted on a cosmic machine.”

God is not merely above. He is within the one who prays and the one we misunderstand, within the friend and the enemy, the victim and the aggressor. There is no place where He is not.

💥 The Tragedy of Violence in the Name of God

And here, the tragedy unfolds.

When human beings, driven by narrow religious identity, hatred, or political dogma, kill in the name of God — they unknowingly harm the very God they claim to serve.

To strike another being is to strike a part of the same divine whole.

Just as a hand attacking a leg injures the entire body, sectarian violence is not spiritual warfare — it is divine self-harm. The soul that understands this truth cannot raise a weapon in the name of division.

🕯️ The End of the Dream: Return of the Seer

When the Supreme Intelligence withdraws this cosmic vision, the Seen dissolves like a dream. This is Laya—the reabsorption of all forms into the formless.

• The screen remains. The movie ends.
• The waves return to the ocean.
• Only the pure Seer remains — silent, eternal, undivided.
• This is not death. It is awakening.

📘 The Gita: A Manual for Divine Vision

The Bhagavad Gita is not a book of dogma or doctrine. It is a spiritual technology, a manual for awakening. It teaches not only how to act in the world, but how to see it rightly — through the eyes of oneness.

•  To see God in all beings.
•  To serve life as sacred.
•  To love without conditions or categories.

This is not idealism. It is the only real foundation for peace — within hearts, homes, and nations.

🛑 Moving Beyond Dogma, Rising Above Ego

Let us move beyond:

• Whose God is greater,
• Which religion is true,
• Who is saved and who is not.
  

Let us instead teach our children that there is only One, wearing countless masks.
One sun reflected in a million dew drops.

The BrahMos missile may guard our borders.
But it is the Bhagavad Gita that can safeguard our consciousness.

One acts when evil arises.
The other prevents evil from ever being born.

🌍 The Future We Must Choose

Only when we embrace the vision of unity in diversity, will war become obsolete—not through treaties, but through transcendence.

Peace will not be an agreement. It will be a state of being.

🙏 A Final Appeal

Let us rise — not in anger or pride — but in awareness.
Let us build a civilization not of weapons, but of wisdom.

 Let us remember:

“Tat Tvam Asi” — That Thou Art.

In every heart, in every being, in every atom — the Seer alone exists.

And to see That — is to be free.
