Day 26: 1min Wake Up Wellness: Consciousness


Consciousness can be defined as the relationship between the mind and the world in which it interacts. It can also be called awareness or wakefulness.  Consciousness and its power of seeing are one and the same, it has the ability to know itself and know everything that is to be known.

Consciousness is pure and is not subject to distortion, however it becomes compromised in everyday life. We are not the body, not the senses, not the mind and not the ego, but rarely experience ourselves as different from these. We are able to perceive only through our body and senses.  We are able to think only through our mind and to identify only through our ego.

Pure Consciousness experiences things the way they are presented to it by the body, senses, mind and ego.  It is detached from any dependencies.

- Pandit Rajmani Tigunait
