HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT SEEING AND HEARING ARE NOT PERSONAL?
Every time hearing or seeing takes place, do we have to do anything for them to take place? No, it is already happening by itself.
But we say ‘I’m seeing’ or ‘I’m hearing’ although nature (cause and effect process – because of the 4 conditions, hearing and seeing are happening) is already happening on its own.
If you’re aware of hearing and seeing each time it happens, over time, it is not difficult to understand that the process is not personal.
