Observation of the Supreme,
Without observing the observer,
Is mental observation.
Because The Absolute is,
Never apart from the observer.
Real observation is,
When the Absolute is observed,
As the only source of the 'self' ,
And the 'self' is dissolved there-in.
(Incidently, I remember a note;
"When J. Krishnamurti reviewed his
own book, :
"Krishnamurti's Notebook."
-just for fun , where he said about his
most famous quote :
"The observer is the observed"
*An Excerpt :
[The concept I found most difficult to
understand was that of
'the observer is the observed'.
I finally came to an interpretation of
this :
the self looks at all its inner states of
being with its own conditioned mind
and therefore what it sees is a replica
of itself; what we are is what we see.
The conception of a superior self which
can direct one's other selves is an illusion,
for there is only one self. When K said
in other talks;
'The experiencer is the experienced''
and,
'The thinker is the thought',
he was merely using different words to
express the same idea.
-from:
'Life and Death of J.Krishnamurti'
-Mary Lutyens, ch.14,(1967),
-"Ideals are brutal things" ]
______________________________
I sincerely feel that the statement given
by J.Krishnamurtiholds in both the states,
1. When One has transcended the 'Known',
and has come face to face with that ;
"Freedom from the known",
2. When has not yet Transcended that
barrier.

And here lies the evidence from the lips
of Sri Ramana.
