The Seer

“Probably, the most profoundly direct instruction Jesus gave concerning the teaching of non-dualism is from Luke’s gospel, Ch. 11: 34 — “The light of the body is the eye: Therefore, when thine eye is single, your whole body will be filled with light….” This non-dual teaching is easily paraphrased as follows: The part of you that sees (the seer, one’s Self) is your true light. Therefore, if you hold to (i.e., abide as) the seer (subject-”I”) singlely or exclusively (i.e., relinquishing attention to thoughts) you will have illumination — or what some call the “enlightenment of the whole body”. This is the exact instruction given in the non-dual Vedanta tradition, with the same described outcome, as related above.”
