Atma Bodha (Self-Knowledge): Your True Self vs Ego – Stop Mixing Them Up - 2A

The process of gaining self-knowledge involves Drg-Drsya-Viveka (Seer-Seen discrimination). Just as eyes see bottle without becoming the bottle, and mind sees eyes without taking on eye conditions, Awareness is the ultimate Seer of the mind without becoming the mind. The mind includes manas (emotions), buddhi (decisions), citta (memory), and ahaṃkāra (I-sense). Knowledge takes place through two processes: vrtti-vyapti (creation of thought/mental-image) and phala-vyapti (cognition for the fist time). For knowledge to be valid, the mind's vrttis must accurately align with what's being taught, otherwise attribution errors occur (like wanting the mind to be limitless instead of recognizing Awareness as limitless).
