This body of knowledge
is known as Vedanta or Self Knowledge and was recorded in the ancient Indian
texts such as the Upanishads, Tattva Bodha, the Bhaghavad Gita and other
Hinduism texts written over 5000 years ago.
The knowledge revealed
in these ancient texts was written in Vedic
Sanskrit, a refined language that often does not have an English
translation. Furthermore the texts
were written from the knowledge of enlightened teachers, which is beyond the
comprehension of the unconscious mind. The content of these texts has continued
to elude most who attempt to read them.
In these scriptures
the enlightened sages revealed the immortality of the Self, the natural state
of being where one exists with insight, clarity, peace and happiness.
The
nature of a child is to be curious about everything that he/she sees, hears,
touches, tastes and smells, but the child does not question who is the seer,
listener, toucher, taster, smeller or experiencer.
The
child who does not question the ‘questioner’ grows up to be the adult who gets
used to challenging everything and everybody except his own self, the ‘I’
As
there are millions of people who never even question their perceptions, there
are billions who never even question the perceiver, the thoughts or the
thinker.
Herein
begins the role of the observer.
