Infinite eye

Sri Bhagavan Ramana sometimes used the phrase, the “Infinite Eye” to describe the way in which the Jnani is aware of himself and the world appearance. When suttarivu – objective knowledge of the undivided Consciousness operates, there is an “I” who creates and sees an external world, and who then processes the information about it through the physical eyes. In Jnana, one sees and knows the world to be an appearance in one’s own Self. This ‘Infinite Eye” sees and knows nothing other than itself, and it accomplishes this without the false division of seer and seen. Sri Bhagavan explains the apparent paradox of this state in Aksharaannamalai, V15: “Eye of the Eye you are, and without eyes you see. Who can see You?” Hara Hara Mahadeva.
