BEHIND THE EYES

We don't see with our eyes but with the eyes that see our eyes, the Atman. 

As the Kena Upanishad puts it:  "At whose behest does the mind think?  Who bids the body live?  Who makes the tongue speak?  Who is that effulgent Being that directs the eye to form and color, and the ear to sound? 

The Atman is the ear of the ear, mind of the mind, speech of the speech.  He is also breath of the breath, and eye of the eye. 

Having given up the false identification of the Atman with the senses and the mind, and knowing the Atman to be Brahman, the wise become immortal."
