 Self Body
Consciousness INFORMATION Material
Instruction
Sensation

Transaction between the Self and the Body-

The Self is giving some Instruction to the Body e.g. get up, walk etc.
The Self is reading some Sensation from the Body e.g. sensation of pain,
etching etc.

Instruction is an information given by the Self and

Sensation is an information received by the Self

Hence,
The transaction between the Self and the Body is only of information
(no material transaction is taking place)

Decision for transaction-

 The decision to send instruction to the Body is made by the Self
The decision to read sensation from the Body is made by the Self

The decision for every transaction is made by the Self 3

I am the Seer
“Seer” means the one that sees / understands

e.g. If you are given something in your hand and you conclude that it is
a pen, it is not your eyes that concluded this. It is you that concluded
this. The Self sees via the eyes – the eyes don’t see themselves

Like that all the 5 senses are just the instruments that enable the
Self to see something outside

Just like you see outside, you can also see ‘within’, without using the
sensation in the body as a means to see
e.g. You can ‘see’ that you are feeling happy, getting angry...

Thus, it is the Self who ‘sees’ or understands, sometimes with the

help of the body, sometimes without the help of body

In the process of seeing, the Body is used as an instrument

7
I am the Doer
“Doer” means the one that does, who takes decision to do

Self is the one who decides. Self decides what to do, what not to do...

the body is used to express the decision of the self, If required

e.g. Self instructs the body to walk and body walks

However,
Self may or may not use the body to execute its decision
e.g. what I think is my decision. I do that thinking within myself (there is
no role of the body in this)

The Body is used as an instrument, as and when required

8
I am the Enjoyer (Experiencer)

“Enjoyer” means the one that experiences happiness /

unhappiness

I am the one that feels enthused or depressed. I am the one that

feels angry or delighted...

I am the enjoyer, the experiencer

9
Self (I) is the Seer, Doer & Enjoyer
1. Seer- B1 (higher activities of the self in this Block) is main Seer- it
is able to see the reality (an unit say a tree for example) in
relationship, harmony & co-existence which is the essence- definite,
universal, continuous
2. Doer- B2 (activities in the imagination of the self in this Block) is
the Doer- recognises its relationship with other units & works out the
details of how to fulfill this relationship (thinking of plan)
3. Enjoyer-B1 & B2 both- enjoys superbliss, bliss, satisfaction, peace
and happiness at the level of realisation, understanding,
contemplation, comparing and tasting

We will look into the details of it when we talk about higher activities of
the self, where we will explain the diagram in the previous slide

Sum Up
Human Being is co-existence of Self and Body
Self is the seer, doer and enjoyer–
it is central to human existence

The need of the Self is continuous happiness

For this, the program of the Self is:
at all levels of being
1. As an individual, human being
To understand harmony & 2. As a member of the family
To live in harmony 3. As a member of society
4. As an unit in nature/existence

Understanding of harmony, feeling of harmony is at the level of Self

The Body is used as an instrument of the Self

The transaction between Self and Body is only in the form of
information, and is decided by the self

Self-reflection
(Home Work)
Self-reflection (Home Work)
1. Observe the imagination going on in your self at this moment.
Observe the desire, thought and expectation in this.

2. Are you able to see that your happiness and unhappiness depends
on your own state of imagination?
For example: when you are thinking of taking revenge from the
other, with a feeling of opposition, what is your state- of happiness or
unhappiness?
How much of this is dependent on the state of the body?

3. Suppose you are sitting in an air conditioned room with your director
with whom you have a feeling of opposition. Will you comfortable
within or uncomfortable within, happy or unhappy within?

Questions
Questions
1. Earlier we learnt that the Self is an entity and the Body is an entity;
and both are co-existing. Now you are saying that Self is central. So,
how do we relate these?
