sakshi
साक्षी sākṣīThe witness; the sun as the all-seeing eye of the world that watches every deed, and, in Vedanta, a name for the witness-consciousness that observes all thought within.
Where this term appears
- Surya Namaskar: The Sun Salutation Yoga
…tradition made the sun the witness of every deed done beneath it, the sakshi from whom nothing is hidden, the impartial watcher who keeps the moral order simply by seeing.
- The Antahkarana: The Fourfold Inner Instrument Essentials
The witness, the sakshi , the true Self, never acts and never changes.
- The Ashtavakra Gita Philosophy
You are awareness itself, the sakshi , the witness in which the whole show of body and mind and world appears and passes.
- Who Was Madhva? Philosophy
This realism reaches all the way down into Madhva's theory of knowledge, and it rests on a faculty he made peculiarly his own: the sakshi , the inner witness.
