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)
[Sanskrit drasthri is the seer.]

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...
But, is NOT of the world!

[Music by Chopin - Nocturne in C# minor]

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.
내가 아닌 것들을 옆으로 제쳐 놓으라...
그럼 진정한 참 나가 환하게 비춰 나오게 된다.

Yogash chitta vrittih nirodhah (Yoga Sutra 1.2)
요가쉬 치타 브리티 니로다.
Yoga is nirodha of the thoughts in the mind field.
요가는 마음 밭에 있는 생각들을 조절 통제 규합 통달해 모두 옆으로 내려 놓는 거다.

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.
그럼, 보는 자가 그 본성 안에서 편히 있게 된다.

The seer is the witness.
보는 자가 바로 목격자이다.

The seer is awareness itself.
보는 자는 각성 그 자체이다.

Drashtuh is of the seer.
Drashtuh is from drish which is to see.
The seer is the self-existent reality of pure consciousness itself.
보는 자는 순수의식 그 자체의 스스로 존재하는 [自存의] 실체이다.

It was never born and never dies.
It is not subject to pain, decay, or decomposition.

The 'seer' lives in the world...
but is not of the world.
보는 자는 세상 속에서 산다...
그러나 세상에 속해[끄달려] 살지는 않는다.
