WHEN WE THINK ABOUT WHAT WE SEE AND HEAR, WE IDENTIFY WITH THE THOUGHTS

| Singapore Retreat 2014 141102 Discussion Group 4A (51:15-52:35)

Seeing and looking, which one do you think is you?

Usually, looking and listening, we think is ‘me’ because we pay attention. Seeing and hearing are passive (yogi’s note - sensed directly through the ear and eye doors); so, we identify less with them.

When we pay attention, we give meaning to the object; it involves thinking. When we think, we identify with our thoughts – ‘I’m thinking’.
