I am the Seer
“Seer” means the one that sees / understands

e.g. If you are given something in your hand and you conclude that it is a pen, it is not your eyes
that concluded this. It is you that concluded this. The Self sees via the eyes – the eyes don’t
see themselves
Like that all the 5 senses are just the instrument that enable the Self to see something outside

Just like you see outside, you can also see ‘within’, without using the body for sensation
e.g. You can ‘see’ that you are feeling happy, getting angry...

Thus, the Self ‘sees’ or understands, sometimes with the help of the body, sometimes without
the help of body

The Body is used as an instrument

I am the Doer
“Doer” means the one that does, who takes decision to do

I am the one who decides. I decide what to do, what not to do...

I may or may not use the body to do – what I think of is my decision. I do that thinking within
myself (there is no role of the body in this)

If required, the body is used to express my decision

The Body is used as an instrument

10
I am the Enjoyer (Experiencer)

“Enjoyer” means the one that experiences happiness / unhappiness

I am the one that feels enthused or depressed. I am the one that feels angry or
delighted...

I am the enjoyer, the experiencer

The Body is used as an instrument

The Self is The Body is
central to human existence an instrument of the Self
Sum Up
Human Being is co-existence of Self and Body
The Self is the seer, doer and enjoyer – it is central to human existence
The need of the Self is continuous happiness

For this, the program of the Self is:

To understand harmony & at all levels of being


To live in harmony 1. As an individual human being
2. As a member of the family
3. As a member of society
4. As an unit in nature/existence

Production, protection and right utilization of physical facility is a part of my program.


The Body is an instrument of the Self
The transaction between Self and Body is only in the form of information
