The Philosophy of “the Seer and the Seen” of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati

By Shyamananda dasa

"A bhogi (one who attempts to enjoy this world) considers himself the seer(drasta), and everything else, including the Supreme as the seen (drsya), his object of vision(darsana). Due to their bitter experience of this world, so-called renouncers wish to deny the plurality of drasta, drsya and darsana and thus regard them as one. Only devotees have the proper vision to appreciate that Krishna is the Supreme enjoyer and alone is fully independent and no one's servant, being the drasta, should be served by all, for the jivas and all else that be are drsya, objects of His darsana."
