Sanskrit drasthri is the seer
Who am I?
What am I?
Set aside what I am not...
What I truly am will come shining through.
Yogash chitta vrittih nirodhah (Yoga Sutra 1.2)
Yoga is nirodha of the thoughts in the mind field.
Nirodha is coordination, control, regulation, integration, mastery, letting go, setting aside...
Tada drashtuh svarupevasthanam (Yoga Sutra 1.3)
Then the seer rests in its own true nature.
The seer is the witness.
The seer is awareness itself.
Drashtuh is of the seer.
Drashtuh is from drish which is to see.
The seer is the self-existent reality of pure consciousness itself.
It was never born and never dies.
It is not subject to pain, decay, or decomposition.
The seer lives in the world.

Music is by Chopin
