Drg Drishya Viveka - Discriminating between the Seer and the Seen

 The Experiencer is different from the experienced....

1.  I am different from whatever I experience. I “experience my body and mind”
 

2.  I, the experiencer, am free from the attributes of the experienced objects. It
belongs to the experienced objects and not the "experiencer" . 

(From 1 above) 

You are not the mind or the body as you experience them both (the body and the mind)

(From 2 above) 

The Experiencer is attributeless, pure.

The Body analyzed - Three Levels of Abstraction - Shareera/Deha Treyam
