A. It means to see what we can’t cease seeing even for a second. Put in different phrases, this implies to see the true-Self as a result of we are able to’t cease seeing it even for a second.

Normally, once we say that we see one thing, it implies that we are able to cease seeing it if we wish to, by closing our eyes, or trying away. That is the way in which we see what will be seen. Nevertheless, once we suppose that we see the universe, it’s not possible to cease seeing it even for a second as a result of we, surrounded by it, can’t ever escape from it as a result of we’re additionally the universe itself. Seeing the bushes on the street is seeing the universe, and seeing our members of the family can also be seeing the universe since all of them are a part of the universe as nicely.

Once we shut our eyes, even what seems to be darkish can also be a part of the universe. Likewise, once we can’t assist however see one thing no matter our intentions, and when it’s not possible to cease seeing it, seeing it isn’t seeing it anymore as a result of the idea of seeing is barely potential primarily based on that of not seeing, simply as being on the proper facet is feasible solely when being on the left facet is.

Because of this historic masters would say that we don’t recognise the true-Self whereas going through it on a regular basis.
