The Drishta’s Resolution

MOVE

In my previous post, I shared how I was caught in a peculiar trap - using the witness as a tool to transcend the ego.

After writing that, I continued the practice. As a drishta, I was able to view myself.

But when I tried to recollect my mind and body's traps of lust and ego, I felt as drishta who is not a doer. "I am not controlling my emotions," I told myself. "I can see the ego."

Yet something bothered me: Isn't it that I want to give away my ego and be subtle?

The question haunted me: "As drishta, I am most likely to fall into the trap of habits formed for years. Am I right here?"

I was moving, yes. But moving with agenda. With fear. With wanting.

SEE

After contemplating for a couple of days, my realization goes like this:

Just being aware about thoughts - without attachment or loyalty to them - is like a detached view.

It is not to 'judge' anything.

Not to fix anything.
Not to change anything.
Not to become anything.

The very act of "trying to be detached" was attachment in disguise. I was using drishta as a technique to achieve something.

And then the real seeing happened: Live and feel and experience via body and mind as I am destined to be so.

Just... seeing.

REFLECT

The question is not about changing or living better.

Think about it: Even my evolution as human post birth is not programmed or planned. Did I decide to learn language, to grow taller, to develop my personality, to fall into these very habits I was now trying to transcend?

It just happened. Without control.

The body moves. The mind thinks. Lust arises. Ego surfaces. Habits pull. Experiences come and go.

And somewhere in all this movement - awareness is present. Watching. Not to alter the course, but just... present.

Evolution happens naturally when you:

  • Move - Live fully, act, experience (even the "traps")
  • See - Stay aware, without judgment or loyalty
  • Reflect - Let understanding emerge organically

Not force. Not control. Not technique.

Just life, living itself through you.

Sabri se sabra seekho. Nadi se pravah seekho.
